In Blue Marble you are a feisty and fetching woman in the richest decade of American history. Every man in Marble, Colorado exhales vocally at your provocative 1910 fashions. And it doesn't hurt that there are fifty strapping men for every female in this booming quarry camp in the rarified mountains of Colorado. Or... perhaps... you're the man who practically invented modern marble extraction. Every day you're pulling out a hundred tons of the finest statuary marble the world has ever seen. The Lincoln Memorial and Tomb of the Unknown Soldier are your finest achievements. Or... maybe... you are just a broken widower looking for the most remote place on earth to hide. You could lose the next decade to misery and grinding depression without notice. It would be just fine if you never spoke to another human being, ever. Until your eyes landed on her. Blue Marble promises the most satisfying love story you've read in a while. When you're finished, you'll ask for the prequels, Swallow the Dog and If Only For a Season.
