Exceptional story of both rural & urban European underclass
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Women and Appletrees is the translation of a novel by a Swedish woman writer. It is a marvelous and absorbing collection of descriptive writing about the human experience. This is a working class novel set in a time period when women had no reproductive options and little say in setting the course of their own lives. These individuals experience poverty, hardship, illiteracy, bad sanitation and the desperation of unmarried and too-fertile motherhood, both urban and rural. This is a captivating story about human survival, the perils of marriage, and finally, friendship. Adult themes throughout. NOT a children's book.
