Description
The Big Rock Candy Mountain is a poignant and affecting narrative that follows the lives of the Mason family as they struggle to survive during the lean years of the early twentieth century. Drifting from town to town and state to state, the family faces poverty, despair, and violence, as the father, Bo, seeks out his fortune in the hotel business, new farmland, and eventually, in illegal rum-running through the treacherous back roads of the American Northwest.
Spanning more than thirty years, this powerful story portrays the resilience and determination of a family in the face of adversity, and the enduring power of love and family bonds. Written by Wallace Stegner, a masterful storyteller and acclaimed author, this novel is a testament to the human spirit and its capacity to endure even in the darkest of times.
