Baker Towers

Bakerton is a community of company houses and church festivals, union squabbles and firemen’s parades. Its ball club leads the coal company leagues. Its neighborhoods include Little Italy, Swedetown, and Polish Hill. For its tight-knit citizens - and the five children of the Novak family - the 1940s will be a decade of tragedy, excitement, and stunning change. Both a family saga and a love letter to a time and place long past, Baker Towers is a feat of imagination from a writer of enormous power and skill.
