Absolute Favourite.
The way it comments on the American Dream and the lives of the disabled people, transient workers, black people and women of the Great Depression is absolutely enriching. Recommended for American History students or anyone that wants to get immersed in the sad but true reality of that time.

I had to read this for English, absolutely hated the use of racial slurs and the way disabilities were handled. The story itself was okay.
