~ Standard Hardcover Jess Walter (bestselling author of Beautiful Ruins) presents The Cold Millions, a propulsive, richly entertaining novel about two brothers swept up in the turb ulent class warfare of the early twentieth century . . . An intimate story of brotherhood, love, sacrifice, and betrayal set against the panoramic backdrop of an early twentieth-century America that eerily echoes our own time, The Cold Millions offers a kaleidoscopic portrait of a nation grappling with the chasm between rich and poor, between harsh realities and simple dreams. "A splendid postmodern rendition of the social realist novels of the 1930s by Henry Roth, John Steinbeck, and John Dos Passos, updated with strong female characters and executed with pristine prose." -- Publishers Weekly Show more
