[quote=Anonymous]The Doll Maker by Harriet Arnow From Goodreads: “The Dollmaker is a 1954 novel by Harriette Simpson Arnow that tells the story of Gertie Nevels, a strong-willed woman from the Kentucky hills who, with her family, is forced to migrate to industrial Detroit during World War II. The novel explores themes of cultural displacement, the struggle to preserve one's heritage in the face of industrialization, and the sacrifices a mother makes for her children. Known for its vivid characters and powerful prose, the book was a critical success and is considered a landmark work of Appalachian literature.” This book is about the resilience of the human spirit, but also made me feel a sense of hopelessness and pain. I usually hand books over to my DD when I’m done reading them, but I didn’t want to inflict this on her. I did keep the book though, so maybe someday I will. [/quote]
