Sinclair Lewis, 1920

Date read: 5/3/24

I really understood how Carol felt with everyone judging and watching her because that's what it was like for me with my ex husband's family and church. I also ran away but I didn't go back.

I don't think I understand why this is considered such a classic and stuff. It's okay. Just a novel really. Nothing special.

Length: 486 pages

Classic: ?
