I almost didn't read this book; the opening scene and first chapter were so depressing - early 20th c. Spokane cops invading a park and beating the sleeping itinerant workers to drive them out of town - - that I almost put it down. Reflection on me, not Jess Walters. It's worth considering that class divisions have been far worse than they are now, life much more precarious, and yet there were people who nevertheless fought for social justice, community, economic equality and the right to a life of dignity and freedom. Walters is a captivating narrator, casting his story through the perspective of the Dolan brothers - 16 y.o. Ryan who is skeptical of his older brother's involvement with the "Wobblies" (the International Workers of the World), an anti-capitalist labor organization that wanted to turn the means of production - often mining or forestry - over to workers. Ryan meets Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, early 20th c. labor activist, feminist, and Wobbly. The novel offers a Dickensian display of characters - cops, politicians, union activists, thugs and ordinary people, all caught up in the early labor wars, especially those involved in mining. In other hands this might have been a novel hopelessly freighted with political themes, but Walters understands that stories are told through characters about whom readers care, a madam who performs a stage routine with a mountain lion, a young man experiencing his first love while wondering where his next meal is coming from, policemen working to enforce the will of local politicians. I couldn't put it down.
