By A Customer
This review is from: Storming Heaven (Mass Market Paperback)
This book by Denise Giardina is one of the best books I read in years. After reading it I feel like it is my land that is being taken by the coal mines. I had trouble putting it down!! A must read!!

5.0 out of 5 stars An engaging story about strong Appalachian heroes, 30 Sep 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Storming Heaven (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a truly amazing piece of fiction that I absolutely could not put down until I was finished. I read and analyzed this book for one chapter of my master's thesis on Appalachian literature and ecofeminist theory. I found it to contain very powerful messages about the human connection to the earth. The conflicts in the book between the human characters are reflected and echoed in nature. In this book and its sequel, Giardina paints such an accurate picture of how oppression of any sort spreads and touches all corners of life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A moving, authentic novel., 14 Dec 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Storming Heaven (Mass Market Paperback)
The West Virginia Mine Wars were long one of the untold chapters of American History. Denise Giardina tells the tale unflinchingly in Storming Heaven. It is an intense, moving novel about a time which still makes Appalchians wring their hands and should make other Americans wonder that this went on in the "land of the free." Characters' voices are interwoven with the narrative in such a way that there is no doubt that this is not just historical fiction but the story of the human struggle.
