Review
This is a story of the brutal realities of life in the 1920s in the mining town of Butte, Montana. It is a story that includes the liquor, situations, and language you would expect to find in such a setting. It is a story of flawed characters doing the best they can with what they have been given. But above all, it is a story of friendships that last a life time.
Notes
This novel was particularly interesting to me because my great grandfather was a miner in Butte, and my grandparents met while attenidng high school there. If the characters in this novel were real, they could have been my grandparents' classmates.
