San Francisco, 1916. The streets
roiling: pitched battles between radical workers and the henchmen of industrial
barons, and between a vibrant, largely Italian immigrant anarchist milieu and
the forces of state and church. All in the looming shadow of Europe’s raging
war, and of a fierce struggle over whether the U.S.
should commit its might,
and human fodder, to the slaughter in the trenches.
Into this maelstrom arrives Kate
Jameson, a novice envoy from Washington tasked to secretly investigate the
tenor of support for war entry among San Francisco’s business eliteShe’s also
hoping to glimpse her wayward daughter, Maggie, whose last message to Kate had
come from there. And, too, she’s seeking the ghost of her husband Jamey, who
fifteen years earlier had landed there upon his return, shattered, from his
part in the U.S.
occupation of the Philippines.
Arriving back in the city at the same moment is Baldo Cavanaugh, a Sicilian-Irish son of San Francisco whose militant beliefs and special skills have led him time and again to the violent extremes of the city’s turbulent historyAnd who now must confront the doubts and demons of his own character, which he’d sought to escape by fleeing the city three years before.
This stunning tale explores how these two seemingly disparate characters become engaged with the city’s and nation’s turmoil, and with the complexities of their related pasts in Boston, Dublin, London, Cuba, and the PhilippinesA vivid picture of a city and a moment, the novel brilliantly reveals the explosive admixture of the deeply personal and the deeply political.
