Reviews

[Steve Majerus-Collins · Rating 4 out of 5]

Holman Day is an unjustly forgotten writer, as this lively novel shows. A superb newsman in Maine, Day brings an era to life with this portrayal of a little Maine town squashed by a Potteresque banker. Not a perfect book, but a good one.

Great book. Let my people go! A small Maine town is dominated by an evil banker. What's new? Holman day was a bit political at times. You'll love it!
