The very first Pulitzer Prize for a novel winner. They say he was actually being honored for his previous novel, The Harbor. Haven't read that one. This one is about the life of a New York widower and his three daughters in the 1910s. Opens when the dude is in his declining years after the death of his wife. The remainder of his time is spent seeing for the future of his daughters, ensuring they have a happy productive life. Boring subject unless you are part of the family, but it was a good read with much perspective of the era.
Grade - B
next up - Killing Patton by Bill O'Reilly & Martin Dugard
