About
A gripping historical novel of a Canadian mining community facing a pivotal labor strike.
In September 1978, the 11,700 hard rock miners and smelter workers of Inco's Sudbury operations face a life-altering choice: stand firm on the job or launch a seemingly impossible strike against a powerful employer with a year's worth of nickel stockpiled. For newlyweds Jake and Jo Ann McCool, and for the Canadian labor movement, nothing will ever be the same.
Against a backdrop of unrelenting winter and shifting social norms, the ensuing struggle triggers unforeseen challenges. Wintersong, the final volume of Mick Lowe's Nickel Range Trilogy, is a powerful work of working-class literature, reminiscent of Upton Sinclair and John Steinbeck. It explores themes of resilience, solidarity, and the human cost of economic conflict, perfect for readers of Canadian historical fiction and labor history.
