The sins of the mother... In the steel mill town of Donora, Pennsylvania, site of the infamous 1948 "killing smog," headstrong nurse Rose Pavlesic tends to her family and neighbors. Controlling and demanding, she's created a life that reflects everything she missed growing up as an orphan. She's even managed to keep her painful secrets hidden from her loving husband, dutiful children, and large extended family.When a stagnant weather pattern traps poisonous mill gasses in the valley, neighbors grow sicker and Rose's nursing obligations thrust her into conflict she never could have fathomed. Consequences from her past collide with her present life, making her once clear decisions as gray as the suffocating smog. As pressure mounts, Rose finds she's not the only one harboring lies. When the deadly fog finally clears, the loss of trust and faith leaves the Pavlesic family-and the whole town-splintered and shocked. With her new perspective, can Rose finally forgive herself and let her family's healing begin?

Assess Containing Books After the Fog

The subject matter itself was quite interesting; the way in which it was told was a huge disappointment. I really disliked the main character, which completely ruined the entire book for me. The subject of the killing fog was really intriguing, but it was told via a judgmental, irritating and narcissistic character. I didn't connect with her, as a matter of fact, I just didn't care what happened to her because she was THAT irritating. Her holier-than-thou attitude got old really fast and her

30 AUG 2015 - this about my home state, Pennsylvania. Although I am from the Southcentral part of PA (closer to Philadelphia than to Pittsburgh), it will be good to read about a real event, The Donora Smog event.

A thoroughly engrossing read, to me. I knew nothing about this tragedy prior to reading this book but a little googling was eye-opening. This historical novel was set in Donora, Pennsylvania in 1948, when a rare combination of weather and air pollution from steel and zinc factories combined to wreak havoc with the air quality in the town, creating a toxic fog that killed 20 in less than a week and sickened many more citizens. Combining history and a hard-drinking, cussing colorful female nurse

Kathleen Shoop hypnotises readers with her words bringing the story to life in such an encapturing way that it is so hard to put the book down.In the mill town of Donora lives Rose and her dysfunctional family. Rose is a nurse who strives to ensure that her community is looked after, nursing is her life but with the worry that their funding is running out hanging over her head. After growing up in an orphanage Rose is adamant that her children will have the best that live can give, that is her

This book just had me. From the very first page with the opening scene, I just couldn't put it down. From there it was hard to stop and I loved the fact that the main character was so real. To be honest she has a lot of the same qualities that I do, maybe that's why I identified with her and admired her. If you've checked out my previous book reviews you know I don't go into detail because I don't want to give anything away. Just know that this book is DEFINITELY worth reading. It's about real

The author gave me an ARC of After the Fog in exchange for an honest review. I had a hard time getting into this story. It was really depressing and the protagonist Rose was too controlling and demanding to be very likeable. After the Fog shows the lives of the people during the Industrial Revolution. Centered in the steel town of Donora, PA in 1949 it is based on true events. The "fog" refers to the unusual weather pattern caused stagnation of the overlying air that mixed with the poisonous

It really sucked me in the weather was over cast and her writing made me feel like I was there. So glad I wasn't with the corona virus going around it was a little too real!
