Damnation Spring

Damnation Spring

Author: Ash Davidson
Series: Reads and Reviews, Reads and Reviews - July 2022
Genre: Historical Fiction - Adult

Although one could never say that there is one way to write historical fiction, this book certainly does it correctly. The core of this story is a group of families living along the California coast in the 1970s. The men work in the logging industry while the women raise the families. At first the story seems to focus just on the families, however, the early environmental movement, and the use of DDT gradually work their way into the plot in a way that feels natural and real. If you've been a bit perplexed by the popularity of Where the Crawdads Sing, you might prefer this book instead.
