The novel Valley of the Moon is a story of a working-class couple, Billy and Saxon Roberts, struggling laborers in Oakland at the Turn-of-the-Century, who left the city life behind and searched Central and Northern California for a suitable farmland to own. The book is notable for the scenes in which the proletarian hero enjoys fellowship with the artists' colony in Carmel, and he settles in the Valley of the Moon. (Summary by Wikipedia) (19 hr 7 min)

I am a fan of Jack London, but my personal opinion is that it wasn't one of his better books. I know he likes the shocking violence, but it seemed to me the labor wars and boxing scenes were too much and too long. The ending was nice and I did learn a few things about human nature. Richard has a nice tone of voice for reading, though not very animated. I could forgive most of the mispronunciations, but I couldn't help wondering if the text really reads excape and warsh rather that escape and wash...made me cringe every time.
