Helpful Score: 1

I thought this was an incredible book... we've learned about this period of American History in school, but this book gives you the complete story - what it was like battling the elements of this unfriendly terrain, losing loved ones, waking up coughing each day - all the little details that humanizes this time. Egan researched the topic deeply and is able to relay stories of real people as well as explain the science behind the dust storms and how the government (and every day people) tried to combat it. Great historical novel.
