The Lighthouse Road

I found this very enjoyable. I love a good historical novel about a time and place in American history of which I know nothing about. In this novel we have two entwined tales of Odd in the 20's and earlier, his mother who works at a logging camp as a cook. I have to admit that I was more engrossed with Thea's story than Odd's, but neither were uninteresting. What really drove the story for me was the little details. The tale of the dogs and Riverfish's ride was, I think, one of my favorite parts of the book. In fact, I think a sequel about the history of the Riverfish family would be a great read as well. Highly recommended for fans of historical fiction about real characters facing real struggles not glorified romances.
