Don't you love how books can take you to a place and a time that you have never even considered before? How about Spokane in the early 1900's. There are two brothers, Rye and Gig, who jump freight trains and try to get by with day jobs. They become involved in the unions and the fight for fair pay. There's an interesting cast of characters, some of whom were real but most are fictional. It's also a book about brotherhood and betrayal.
And at a time when women were not treated as equal, the female characters in the book are strong and outspoken - and wonderful! The writing is superb!
Definitely recommend this one. - June
