Music of the Mill
by Luis Rodriguez
"Destined to be a classic of American literature, Music of the Mill, the long-awaited first novel by Luis J. Rodriguez, portrays the journey of one family caught in a web of politics, racial polarization, and corrupt unions' power struggles, revealing the drama, pain, joy, and humor of working-class life."
-- Publishers Weekly
"A sweeping history lesson written with a poet's heart, a journalist's
eye and the long view that comes from having worked in the mills. This
novel should be required reading for No Politician Left Behind and everyone
else interested in the true history of the United States." -Sandra
Cisneros, author of Caramelo and The House on Mango Street.
