susieseeker 's review for:
The Trackers
by Charles Frazier
Charles Frazier is an author I turn to when I want good writing and plot, backed by excellent research.
This time, he sets his novel mainly in Wyoming, with California and Washington thrown in. Time frame is the 1930s during the New Deal. The protagonist is a budding artist, graduating during the depression, who gets a commission to paint a mural on a post office wall in Wyoming.
He's billeted with an odd-match couple and fancies himself in love with the wife. I know, this sounds really tacky, but it's not. As the story unfolds, we learn about the dire conditions that existed during those times and we learn something of the decisions made and coping by some of the characters in the story.
I found it quite poignant.
