I will be going to Eastern Washington, near Lake Chelan for a week in September, so another in the group suggested that we read this book and discuss it while we are vacationing together. The book is set at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th in rural Eastern Washington. It focuses on two "damaged families" who intersect. There is a heavy sadness/melancholy throughout the book, alternating with positive flavor as one of the families moves forward in spite of the adversities. I did get a feel for rural Washington at that time. The descriptions of the scenery and the characters was well done.
