This book is a classic. I found it depressing but very well written. It shows how far woman have come to gain equal rights in marriage. It also shows how much, in hard times, families give up to stay together.

This is a book that stays with you long after you've read it. Great story but it is a pretty sad story. Would read again. Gives a different view of those who worked in northern factories, immigrants, the men who started unions and their families.
