Publisher's Summary
The best-selling author of Matterhorn.
At the turn of the 20th century, as the oppression of Russia's imperial rule takes its toll on Finland, the three Koski siblings - Ilmari, Matti and the politicized young Aino - are forced to flee. They settle among a community of Finns in Deep River - a town on the western edges of the United States.
The brothers face the excitement and danger of pioneering this frontier wilderness. But while they are climbing and felling trees 100 metres high, Aino is organising the country's fledgling labour movements.
As the Koskis strive to rebuild lives and families in an America in flux, they also try to hold fast to the traditions of a home they can never return to. And so the seasons change, the decades pass and the denizens of Deep River slip in and out of love; they become engineers and fishermen, midwives and widows, soldiers and fugitives.
In this profoundly moving epic Karl Marlantes masterfully depicts the tyranny of nascent America, the limits of human survival and the enduring might of family love.

Truly enjoyed this story
Very believable story of Finnish migrants in America, spiced up with repeating cultural cliches such as sisu and always having a cup of coffee. Narrator did a very good job in pronouncing Finnish words and imitating Scandinavian accents.
