If you want a love story or an adventure story you will get both reading "The Last Train to Key West". Informative and readable narrative is embedded in dialogue which delightfully acquaints the reader with the characters in this historical look at the treatment of post WWI veterans and the horrendous 1935 Labor Day hurricane on the Florida Keys. I enjoyed this book and learned about the work camps that were established on the Florida Keys for WWI veterans, the devastation wrought by the Labor Day hurricane as well as something about the criminal hierarchy in New York City. I would recommend this book to individuals as well as to book discussion groups. Questions for discussion are provided.
