Annie Jalmer stands hesitantly between opposing forces, the communists and the fascists, in her 1930s Rocky Mountain town. The daughter of immigrants with radically different politics to their neighbours, Annie is a reluctant double agent until a violent strike forces her to choose sides. Revolution Songs is the electrifying debut novel from award-winning writer Carrisa Halton, based on the little-known true history of the 1932 battle for Alberta between the Ku Klux Klan and the Communists. Nestled in the dark history of the Canadian involvement in the Second World War, Halton eerily reflects the polarized political tides that seem to be sweeping towards us in this thrilling and insightful novel.
