Tough Love Sawmill Style,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kindred of the Dust (The Bestsellers of 1920) (Library Binding)
Son of Scottish tough guy sawmill baron goes off to college in the East, incidentally doubling Dad's money by investing in forestland and paying for college with the profits (thus handing Dad back all the college money upon graduation), then coming back to try to measure up to Dad.Son does it, along the way filling the redemption theme of the book by falling in love with the woman of bad repute who lives at the edge of proper sawmill society with her illegitimate child. Contains fistfights and other Northwest bygone era male behaviors, and includes vivid descriptions of father blowing off a cannon each morning to start the day (lives on a cliff, so it's cool). By the end of the book, Son is Dad's boy, and everybody better just accept the wife he has chosen. Wife experiences this act of grace and adoption with gratefulness, and turns her own brand of toughness and love into supporting Son. Good themes, basic story, blow off the cannon, take over the dynasty. Then put the book down and return to your own comparatively miserable data-entry existence, buoyed by this outdated but invigorating book.
