A review by moeeyc
So Big by Edna Ferber

4.0

I added this to my TBR list as an author/book I probably needed to read as a valuable piece of American literature. And that was true. I had also recently read Willa Cather for the the first time (O! Pioneers) and thought they may be similar. It really was an excellent book. Deeply descriptive of time, place and the human condition. There is something that appeals to me, perhaps a seed that germinated with The Grapes of Wrath, about man's attempts to tame the land and draw a living from it.
