Edna Ferber
2 books
- Yancey Cravat is all swagger and vanishing acts, but the book quietly belongs to Sabra, who stays in dusty Osage running the newspaper while he chases the next frontier. You'd come for the land rush, then stay for her slow, stubborn hardening over forty years.
- You follow Selina DeJong from an Illinois schoolhouse into onion fields, as she raises Dirk and tries to protect his imagination from the narrow life around them. Warm, sharp, and openly sentimental, it suits you if novels about art, money, and ambition appeal.
