The Valley of the Moon
The Valley of the Moon | Jack London
3 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
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.

Visiting Jack London‘s “Beauty Ranch” (state park) in Sonoma County. His book Valley of the Moon was set here. It‘s a gorgeous place!

TheBookHippie Wow!! 1y
Karisa @TheBookHippie I learned so much about him! His wife was a writer too, they traveled the world bringing their record player, they built their dream home at Beauty Ranch (looks like castle ruins) only to have it burn down just before moving in, he died there at the ranch at age 40… 1y
TheBookHippie @Karisa It‘s so fascinating and how sad about the ranch. I love history. 1y

Procrastireader One of the things I loved about Oakland was being able to say, "I'm going to catch the ferry at Jack London Square." 8y
