Steve Bassett's "Father's Sacred Bike" is not only a great reading – it is the cultural experience of the post-World War II era. The city of Newark flourished during the war, only because of the spread of peace throughout the world and its destruction and lack. Because of the scarcity of employment after the war, people are losing jobs for people they have never imagined, and the community is declining. As the gangsters strengthened their control over the city, the turf war created an environment of fear among its citizens, with little hope of fleeing a better life. When the two altar boys picked up the paper to help their families, they got up in the mob's activities, posing as a group of books as a faithful follower of the barber and the sacred father.
This is such an amazing reading, of course, one of the books I have stayed with for a few days after I finished reading. When I was studying, I was immediately sent to Newark in 1945, walking in the middle of a citizen who tried to drive life in a rapidly changing city. It vividly describes the daily life environment, the comparison of characters and culture in various urban areas, and it is amazing and realistic. The author uses real dialogue to further increase the overall atmosphere of authenticity. This language may be offensive to those who are particularly sensitive, but in 1945 there was no politically correct thing, and Bassett was a reality in his delivery.
Before I started reading, I have noticed that this book is mainly focused on two newsboys, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the story did not strictly follow their point of view. In the contradiction, there is a unique and fascinating character. As the story evolves, most characters swing between the protagonist and the opposing tendency. The way in which the background of each character is introduced forces me to care about and invest in their results. Writing is special, and Bassett has a fascinating way to influence readers with his prose.
Steve Bassett's "Father's Sacred Bike" is a must-read for those who love historical fiction, crime, growth, and a pleasing reading experience. I am very happy to know that this is the first book in the series - the end makes me want more, I am eagerly looking forward to the next book in the series.
