dabbe@Cuilin You don't have to read if you don't want to, my friend. It's a heart-wrencher, but the best book I have ever read about the Dust Bowl period. 🩵🩶🩵2mo
CuilinOh I‘m “enjoying” it. So many people have said it‘s very depressing, but Goodreads describes it as a “tribute to hope and inner strength”. I‘ll continue. For now anyway. Plus, I plan on reading the Grapes of Wrath, in Nov with the #HashBrigade. Same time period, correct?2mo
dabbe@Cuilin Yep. The Joads in that book are like Livie's family; they move west to get out of the dust.2mo
Doll8455Read the Grapes of Wrath. I‘ve read it several times in my 82 years. At 20 at 50 at 80. It makes all problems disappear when you realize how good we have it now.1mo
dabbe@Doll8455 LOVED that book. This one is a solid companion to it. And, yes, we do have it so much better now in many ways.1mo
