I finally made it to the library and was able to get my hands on a Macomber book that I hadn't read. YEAH! This book is part of a series. The series takes place in Hard Luck, Alaska. Hard Luck is located just above the Arctic Circle. In the beginning of the series the population of the town is less than 50. As the books go through and document the lives of the residences you see not only a part of there wonderfully complex and yet simple life (living far away from civilization would have its pros and cons). Midnight Sons is the name of a company ran by three brothers. The company specializes in aviation transportation. These brothers/pilots are the towns only way to communicate with the outside world. As the brothers start to lose pilots due to a lack of females in the towns population, two of them devise a plan. Bribe beautiful woman from the bigger cities to come and live in Hard Luck. In exchange they would get property after a year and a job. This concept proves to be shoddy. The woman who they want to come to Hard Luck refuse to stay after a day. But the strong willed able bodied woman make it last. The brothers find themselves (as with other men in the town) falling in love with the women who embrace their town and lifestyle. These books share the beautiful and mostly tumultious relationship beginnings between man and woman.
I have said it before and will say it again. Macomber does a fine job of documenting the dynamic within relationships.
Good quick read, I have missed you. Hopefully the library will have more later this week.
