A review by rianlion
Cimarron by Ferber, Edna Ferber

3.0

What I really like about Edna Ferber's books is that they are concretely located in specific places and times and, when possible, she has gone to those places to talk to people. This brings her books alive, because the way that people talk and act seems particular to that space/time location, whether it is the settling of Oklahoma (as in Cimarron), Texas oil country (Giant, Wisconsin lumberjacks (Come and Get It), or pre-statehood Alaska (Ice Palace).
