A review by bese199
The Big Rock Candy Mountain by Wallace Stegner

5.0

Found this book in a thrift store and was intrigued that it was marked a 'classic' though I had never heard of the author. Originally published in 1938, it does have some dated slang and racist dialogue that jars, but the writing is beautiful and insightful. It is one of the best novels I have ever read. I could not put it down.
