After reading Kristin Hannah’s The Four Winds and Jojo Moyes’s The Giver of Stars, it got me thinking about other novels set during the Great Depression. Despite their often dire and difficult settings, these books are often portraits in survival or courage, though often tinged with man’s failings and disappointments as well.
Always a fair assessment of what you review, set to the backdrop of a dynamic site and valuable to would-be-readers. Thank you for your excellent work Jennifer.
Absolutely LOVE “Bud, not Buddy”! It is a wonderful book about a boy who lives in Flint, Michigan during the Great Depression. His mother died while he was a young child so he had to go to a Home. He soon realizes that some of the things his mother left behind, must be clues to who his father is!
