Description
Set against the vibrant backdrop of early 20th-century America, Edna Ferber's So Big tells the story of Selina Peake Dejong and her journey towards happiness. As she navigates the challenges of marriage, widowhood, and finding success as a farmer, Ferber explores timeless themes that remain relevant today.
Through Selina's experiences, Ferber sheds light on the complexities of poverty, Americanization, family tensions, sexism, and what truly brings fulfillment to life. With So Big, Ferber created a vivid portrait of turn-of-the-century Chicago, one that continues to resonate with readers.
