Inspired by the true story of Ohio’s first female sheriff, The Widows by Jess Montgomery is a powerful debut about two women’s search for justice as they take on the corruption at the heart of their community.

Kinship, Ohio, 1924: When Lily Ross learns that her husband, Daniel Ross, the town’s widely respected sheriff, is killed while transporting a prisoner, she is devastated and vows to avenge his death.

Hours after his funeral, a stranger appears at her door. Marvena Whitcomb, a coal miner’s widow, is unaware Daniel has died and begs to speak with him about her missing daughter.

From miles away but worlds apart, Lily and Marvena’s lives collide as they realize Daniel was not the man either of them believed him to be - and that his murder is far more complex than either of them could have imagined.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The Widows kept me on the edge of my seat. Jess Montgomery is a masterful storyteller. This is a novel about courage and the good hearts of women, and it builds, almost unbearably, to its stunning end.” (Lee Martin, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of The Bright Forever)

"Set when coal was king and the Pinkertons its strikebreakers, The Widows is a gripping, beautifully written novel about two women avenging the murder of the man they both loved." (Hallie Ephron, New York Times best-selling author of You'll Never Know, Dear)

"With compassion and skill, Jess Montgomery deftly smashes stereotypes and puts a human face on the cost of coal mining in 1924 Appalachian Ohio. Rich with historical details, yet fast paced, The Widows revolves around a murder investigation. But it was the vivid voices of Lily Ross and Marvena Whitcomb that completely captivated my heart and kept me reading long into the night." (Ann Weisgarber, author of The Personal History of Rachel Dupree)

The story started slow and I struggled to get past the first few chapters. I considered returning it and not finishing, but I'm glad I stuck with it. It turned out to be a really enjoyable book.

slow start, but good

This is a wonderful story of two strong minded women in a time when such were not valued. In spite of their disparate backgrounds and personal al histories, an unlikely bond is forged between them. The plot centers around a murder and a brewing fight between miners and a ruthless coal mining owner. The story is superbly read and the plot is fast paced with a surprising ending. Highly recommended.

Terrific story and a terrific performance

Jess’ writing is smart and respectful of a people long-denigrated for having backward ways. Having come from the area myself, I’m eager for well-written work that tells a great story without poking fun at or pitying mountain folk and coal miners. The reader was excellent as well. I’m excited for this series!

It was a great book. Enjoyed learning about the miners and a part of history I knew little about. Some parts were a little predictable but not too bad and I did listen to the end.

Kept my attention

The story is well crafted and informative about the struggles of the miners and the power of the mine owner. However. it is so sad. Being a widow myself, I found it painful.

An epic story
