Thank you so much, Nici! That's my favorite book too! When asked to compare my writing style to another writer, she's who I think of. Have you read “Tomorrow Will Be Better”?
I loved that too! But my second favorite book of hers is Maggie May. She was such a juxtaposition. So happy with her little brother, and so sad because her life was lonely despite being married. It just speaks to me in a way.
I'm not surprised that A Tree is also your favorite book. The others on my top 5 list are A Prayer for Owen Meaney, Acts of Faith, The Good Earth, and East of Eden. I wouldn't be surprised if any of those were also on your top 5 list.
Please check back in after you read one. All of them have great character development and that's certainly a strength of yours. I'm curious to know what you think.
Your writing style in this story very much reminds me of Betty Smith's style in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, which is my favorite book.
I will be saving this story to reread in a few years.

I haven't read those but will put them on my list! I do like Steinbeck.
