I suppose Lewis felt strongly about family, and used some of his own experiences and observations in the work, but in my opinion this is little more than a potboiler. Readers might be advised to read the first and last chapter ... and maybe one in the middle of the book, but any more than that would be a ho-hum waste of time. no reviews | add a review
Harry Sinclair Lewis (1885 - 1951) was an American novelist, short-story writer, and playwright. In 1930, he became the first writer from the United States to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, which was awarded "for his vigorous and graphic art of description and his ability to create, with wit and humor, new types of characters." His works are known for their insightful and critical views of American capitalism and materialism between the wars. He is also respected for his strong characterizations of modern working women.
