I have really mixed emotions about this book. On the one hand, this is the Great Depression, it is and is supposed to be a sad and awful time in America’s history, and this book offers a different perspective of that time period that I never knew much about before.
On the other hand, there were several parts and characters that were deeply upsetting and frankly just pissed me off, and as a result I had a hard time enjoying the book. What I’m trying to say is I think I’m too much of an escapist for a book like this. It was very well written, again offers a new look at history, but it took me a minute to get through it. So I’m giving it 3 stars as a middle road between the two sides of my feelings about this 😂
