A beautiful, lyric hymn to the power of social unrest in American history, Anthony Doerr's All the Light We Cannot See walks a dozen tightropes. Set in 1909, Spokane, Washington, the Dolan brothers are living by their wits, jumping freight trains and lining up for work at crooked job agencies. While sixteen-year-old Rye yearns for a steady job and a home, his dashing older brother Gig dreams of a better world, fighting alongside other union men for fair pay and decent treatment.
But then Rye finds himself drawn to suffragette Elizabeth Gurley Flynn and her passion sweeps him into the world of protest and dirty business. As a storm starts brewing, questions of love, sacrifice, brotherhood, and betrayal emerge, threatening to overwhelm them all.
The Cold Millions is at once an intimate story and a stunning, kaleidoscopic portrait of a nation grappling with the chasm between rich and poor, dreams and reality. Set against the panoramic backdrop of an early 20th-century America, Jess Walter offers a sensational tale that resonates powerfully with our own time.
A brilliantly multifaceted panorama of early 20th-century America, Walter is a writer whose work deserves a wide readership. The Sunday Times praised his work as "a work of irresistible characters, harrowing adventures, and rip-roaring fun," while the Washington Post described it as "one of the most captivating novels of the year."
