SO BIG

So Big by Edna Ferber - Today is Mother's Day, and I started out by treating my self to leisurely finishing So Big. Edna Ferber won the Pulitzer Prize for this novel about a woman named Selina and a city called Chicago. It takes place at the turn of the century, and although the story covers many years, and many lives, it's compact and musical. You'll never hear the phrase "Cabbages are Beautiful" again without thinking of Selina. Reading this was a real treat.
