A different title and dustcover would have helped avoid the problem. An exacerbating factor is that opening the book at random may bring one to something that sounds like a novel and the writing is good enough to be the envy of any good novelist. The book arrangement is in six parts that resemble a series of separate books. Most parts would stand alone, certainly as well as do many related sequences of novels.

While this book appeals to me because of my interest in family history and my own Montana connection, I think it has a much broader range. Any historical drama enthusiast ought to enjoy this. Dec 27, Steven Howes rated it liked it.

The author had heard some strange tales about her ancestors and decided to do some research into her Irish immigrant family's past to unearth the truth. While delving into one's geneological history may sound boring, the author's family included some interesting characters, especially her great grandmother, great uncles, and grandfather. While the book focuses on her grandmother the family saint , it is the doings of her other relatives that makes it hold the reader's attention. Most of the sto The author had heard some strange tales about her ancestors and decided to do some research into her Irish immigrant family's past to unearth the truth.
Mar 16, Margaret Harris rated it it was amazing. One Night in a Bad Inn is a history of place and time told through the experiences of a family who lived it. The time is the early 20th century, and the places are frontier Montana when it was barely a state, the brand new chaotic city of Butte, and then the trenches of Belgium in WWI.
The book is masterfully researched and beautifully written. Aug 12, Guna rated it liked it Shelves: It was fascinating reading about Butte history, and the history of this family of Welsh immigrants. The parts about battles in WWI were interesting, but a bit too much detail for me, otherwise I would have given the book a 4 rating. The book follows the life of the author's grandmother, which is riveting, along with her family members.
Aug 25, Peggy rated it really liked it. Solid, historical research is the basis for the events in this book. It made me want to dig a little deeper concerning my grandfather's service in WWI, since he signed up in Montana. The historical background on events in Butte was very clear and detailed.
Jan 08, Maryann rated it liked it. This book was very detailed and a bit too long. Maybe I wasn't in the mood for the diversions back to Ireland. But the story itself and the characters were interesting, I wanted to see how it ended.
I did finish it but skimmed over some of the chapters. Sheri S Bruington rated it it was ok Dec 16, Lori Jenkins rated it liked it Feb 23, Janet Livingston rated it really liked it Jun 14,
