The city beneath the snow - Marjorie Kowalski Cole

The final collection of stories by award-winning writer Marjorie Kowalski Cole, The City Beneath the Snow
is a portrait of contemporary Alaskans and a look at the moral decisions that lurk in the unexpected corners of daily life."Marjorie Kowalski Cole's characters live, work, and struggle in interior Alaska, and she depicts life here with a keen eye and with compassion. We see the daughter of a Fairbanks junkyard owner struggling with her isolation. We meet a bartender at Circle Hot Springs who's also a certified nurse's assistant at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital. . . . These are inner lives, revealed with care and with skill, the true material of good literature."-Peggy Shumaker, Alaska State Writer Laureate
