I must say most of what I like about this book is the variety of characters (I love that also about the tv show Midsomer Murders.) This one also, set just after the end of WWI, brings up classism pretty strongly. Enjoyable, liesurely read.
I have now begun Follow the Angels Follow the Doves, a fictionalized biography of Bass Reeves (black US Marshal born into slavery in Oklahoma.) This is a trilogy of books. This first book deals with the raising of this young slave, favored by his master, but carefully taught to be wary by his mother.
