Negative Positive
Title: A remarkably good book
Review: Timothy Eagan is an excellent story-teller and he tells this story using the words of people who lived in this region though this extraordinary environmental (and financial) disaster in American history.Our book club read this last fall (2008) as the environmental and financial disaster of our own time was unfolding around us and the echos from that earlier time were hard to miss.One might expect this to be a dry (no pun intended) and fairly boring topic but in Mr. Eagan's capable hands the time period comes alive with all of its stunning hardships and desperation intact. Read this book - you will not regret it.
