Smoke, As Usual
A dry autumn, a smouldering swamp, and a calendar moving toward one Sunday in October.
In the dry autumn of 1871, in a Wisconsin mill town where the swamps have smoldered all summer, a proud old weather observer keeps a daily register for the Smithsonian and a private case against the woman who means to take his grandson away. Every entry is dated, every reading exact, and the calendar is moving toward a Sunday in October.
