There's a wonderful cast of human and folklore characters: Petr the foundling broadcasting to... who? Baie, the woman who tries to help her lost sisters. Raven in the air. White Otter in the water. You long for them all to come together... and eventually, they do. And the author's deep, intimate understanding of the Olympic Peninsula ties them all together.
It's not an easy read. There is so much going on and so many threads to join that the myriad ways of telling can prove a challenge. ''Radio Free Olympia'' is not a light beach read. But for the reader prepared to make an effort and immerse themselves completely, the pay off payoff is genuinely rewarding. I haven't read a book like this in quite some time.
Recommended.
