In Work Song he takes listeners to Butte, Montana, in 1919 for the tale of one charmers efforts to elude Chicago gangsters.Stepping off the train in the worlds copper mining capital, Morris Morgan secures a room at the boarding house of an attractive widow hed like to know better. As the erudite Morris begins working at the local library, he tries not to take sides in the labor dispute at the Anaconda Mining Company. But when hes mistaken for an undercover union operative, hes soon caught up in the seething ferment of an iron-fisted company, radical union agitators, and beleaguered miners.More atmospheric, pleasingly old-fashioned storytelling from Doig, whose ear for the way people spoke and thought in times gone by is as faultless as ever.Kirkus ReviewsContact: [email protected]
