pickA 1942 bestseller that's being republished in May. An ambitious saga about three young women and their search for love, acceptance, and success. At 800+ pages, it's ridiculously long, and yet, it kept my attention. I grew to respect Hale for believing the experiences of women deserve such serious treatment. Set in the 1920s & 30s, but not much has changed. Men can be brutes, women's sexuality is punished, and every choice comes at a cost.👇
Currently reading reading this 1942 novel set to be republished this spring. It's 842 pages long.
It's pretty good, but not sure it's 842-pages-long good. 🤨
Has anyone read it? Apparently it was a big hit back in the day.
