Private Life by Jane Smiley

4.0

Private Life hits some of the most important milestones of the late 1800s to WWII. The main character grows up, gets married, and leads the typical housewife life. She learns to ride a bicycle, survives the great influenza, and learns of U.S. concentration camps for the Japanese through WWII. It's just a historical novel, but it's more interesting than many others I've read.
