For more than a hundred years the Armbruster family grapples with the weight of, and struggles to retain, their legacy: Lambton County's vintage oil farm . . .
Part generational saga, part eco-gothic tale, Oil People is a luminous debut novel about history and family, land and power, and oil as an object of toxic wonder; a molten mirror for the petroleum age, signaling the arrival of a profound and vital voice.
"As hypnotic and shimmering as the oil at its heart, David Huebert's Oil People brings to life the dark family saga of the Armbruster clan, and the beautiful, poisonous lands they claim as their own. This is a dazzling debut." -- Steven Price, author of Lampedusa, By Gaslight, and Into That Darkness
