The Rush by Beth Lewis

5.0

Beth Lewis never disappoints. Her novels are always original and this is her best yet. Set in the Gold Rush in Klondike in Canada, she captures the hunger of those seeking a better life, the harsh reality of the environment and the underlying violence that seeps through the town. The protagonists are strong females, namely Kate Kelly, a journalist who is trying to locate her sister, Martha who runs the town hotel/brothel and Ellen Rhodes who, at first seems like a placid miner’s wife, but who is deeply unhappy. The story of the three women intersects and the story has the reader truly immersed. A heartfelt thoughtful tale. Highly recommended.
