This is a good book but it is definitely a tragic, love story. So if you aren't in the mood for that - you might not want to pick this one up.
It is very good but so sad. Hard story to put down. It takes place in a mining town in the west during the 1850's. The story revolves around two people - Quaye - who escapes the potato famine in Ireland but doesn't end up in a better situation here in America. Hunter - was a preacher until tragedy struck. He is very angry at God. And it isn't until he meets up with Quaye that he eventually finds God again (although he also realizes that God never really left him). Hunter was a prospector in the mining town. His claim was doing very well.
I won't spoil the ending but it is a very tragic love story. I do love the way Richard Evans writes though. He is a master story teller. It is hard to put his books down.
