Although there are a number of characters in this story, not one did I ever feel overwhelmed. McBride carefully crafted each character making them part of the bigger puzzle that ultimately comes together in the end.

 Thought provoking, full of rich characters ,and storytelling that allows you to picture the town and people in your mind as you read. Truly a historical fiction gem.
