Ten years after his "dazzling" (San Francisco Chronicle), "unforgettable" (Newsday) bestselling debut novel, A Yellow Raft in Blue Water, Michael Dorris returns to the family at the core of that work to write the rich score of the "full-blown, complex opera of his new novel, Cloud Chamber" (Robb Forman Dew).
Opening in late-nineteenth-century Ireland and moving to Kentucky and finally to the high plains of Montana, Cloud Chamber tells the extraordinary tale of Rose Mannion and her descendants. Over a period of more than one hundred years, Rose's legacy of love and betrayal is passed down from generation to generation until it meets the promise of reconciliation in Rayona, the indomitable part-black, part Native American teenage girl at the center of A Yellow Raft in Blue Water.
Cloud Chamber is truly a tour de force, a powerful, rich tale about the energy and persistence of love.

This book is a prequel to the author's highly successful earlier novel "A Yellow Raft In Blue Water" (and having read that one several decades ago, re-reading it is in the cards for me now). Right from the start the writing is at such a high level of quality that I immediately entered that zone of reader's euphoria, anticipation, and excitement that this would be good. And so it was and remained for the duration of the book --- not just good, but exceptional. I continued to bask in that emotional "high" that gives meaning to reading when writing is at this level of quality. This is a multi-generational family saga (through five generations) that begins in Ireland and ends in Montana. It's compelling, gripping, evocative, lyrical, poignant, powerful, and absorbing (this list of descriptive adjectives could go on and on). Reading this has been a highly satisfying endeavor. I picked this book up totally by chance from one of those "little libraries" and realize now that I was indeed lucky that day.
