Description
The Big Rock Candy Mountain by Wallace Stegner is a powerful and affecting narrative that explores the struggles of one family during the lean years of the early twentieth century. Against the backdrop of poverty, despair, and the devastating reach of the Depression, Bo Mason's relentless pursuit of the American dream takes him from town to town and state to state. As he navigates the treacherous landscape of the American Northwest, Bo's violent and ruthless nature is revealed, threatening the very survival of his family. With an introduction by Robert Stone, this defining masterpiece by the "dean of Western writers" offers a poignant portrayal of more than three decades in the life of the Mason family. Through Stegner's masterful storytelling, the harsh realities of the Great Depression come alive, leaving a lasting impact on those who experience it.
