A review by lattelibrarian
The Street by Ann Petry

5.0

Literally nothing happy happens in this book. Which, in my opinion, is really nice considering the main characters, the gothic setting, and the fact that if this novel was real life, there wouldn't have been a happy ending. Lutie and Bub are loveable, and thrust into a most unforgiving environment. Naturalism. The gothic. Abuse and assault warnings.
