Query: A good read

This interesting story by Norah Lofts is about specific people who live through the infamous Donner Party. The book is a good one for describing the trials and tribulations of the people heading west, and the troubles they face passing through the mountains on the way to California. It is clear that Lofts wrote this book, as the novel tends to have a lot of roots in England. The story the back story of four main characters, who have different viewpoints and pasts, all leading to their fate in the Donner Party, and I personally felt that is where the book is the strongest, the sections describing the histories of the characters. All in all, a very entertaining read.
