Great Depression

Any suggestions for novels taking place during the Great Depression?

Daughter of Providence by Julie Drew

The Grapes of Wrath of course.

Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse, the 1998 Newbery Award winner, was one of the most moving books I’ve read recently.

Fallen Angels by Patricia Hickman is the first of a short series set in Dust Bowl Arkansas and Oklahoma. Good stuff.

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is set during the Depression.

If you are in the mood for cozy mysteries Susan Wittig Albert has a mystery series - The Darling Dahlias that is set during the Great Depression

>6 nx74defiant: ...which made me think of another period-appropriate cozy mystery series by Jill Churchill:Anything Goes is the first in the lineup, I believe.

Two British books: Love on the Dole and The Road to Wigan Pier. The Orwell is non-fiction.

The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah.

>2 Darth-Heather: The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes, The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michelle Richardson (late 1930's) and there are many other great books set i this time period including classics. Also The Girl From The Papers by Jennifer Wright which I just reviewed.

I recently finished The Trackers by Charles Frazier, a good historical novel set during the later stages of the Great Drepression in Wyoming and elsewhere throughout the U.S. You can find my longer review on my 50-Book Challenge thread.
