A review by hledvina
So Big by Edna Ferber

5.0

Remarkable! This is an absolutely wonderful book about the life of a woman and subsequently her son, who make different life choices; the mother out of desperation and the son out of prosperity. Edna Ferber was a fixture in Appleton where I lived for many years and now understand the significance of this author and her place in literary history. Wheat and emerald, joy or money, working hands or manicures, life consists of the choices we make and the hearts we touch along the way. Adventure, joy and finding beauty in all things are the themes that will stay with me.
