Helpful Score: 1


This was a great historical, southern novel in which the characters were fully developed and the plot (real events in history) was gripping. If you want to learn more about Appalachia and the coal-mining industry of the turn-of-the-century, Storming Heaven is a wonderful resource (as well as the sequel "The Unquiet Earth").

Like its prequel, "Storming Heaven," "Unquiet Earth" is a well-written account of life in coal-mining country at the turn-of-the-century and beyond. Great characters, gripping plot (based on real events), and fine writing.
