I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records.  This was the first book I read in 2021, and is what kick-started my reading journey having put reading on the  back burner whilst bringing up the children,  previously being an avid reader. Based in 1934 in the depression in America with the loveable main character Elsa Martinelli, who tries to make a better life for herself and children. In the dust bowl era taking her from the drought and great plaibs of Texas in search of a better life in California. Historical fiction beautifully researched and written.

Sad, bleak and depressing. I had very little knowledge of this history and did learn a lot. The starvation was hard to read.
