A story about this — 51 weeks ago
I’m not sure why there have been so many raves about this book. Can anyone enlighten me? When it comes to tenement living I’d take A Tree Grows in Brooklyn anyday and for immigrant life, albeit on the prairie, I prefer Giants in the Earth. There seems to be a lot of sexual content in this book, much more than I’d expect the average 8 yr. old at the turn of the 19th century to be aware of, or is it the old Freudian Oedipus complex?
