Description
Edna Ferber's Show Boat is a story of love, loss and survival set against the vibrant backdrop of America's early 20th-century showboat culture.
The story follows Magnolia Hawks as she navigates the challenges of growing up on the Mississippi River, falling in love with Gaylord Ravenal, and struggling to make ends meet in Chicago. As her daughter Kim sets out to pursue a career on Broadway, Magnolia must confront her own past and the changing world around her.
Originally published in 1926, this novel has been rediscovered through its publication alongside vintage film adaptations, offering a unique glimpse into America's cultural evolution during a pivotal period of change.
