Reviews"A beautifully integrated story of the barren southern farm and the shut southern mill, and one of the finest studies of the southern poor white which has ever come into our literature. Writing in the brutal images of the life of his poor white people, Mr. Caldwell has caught in poetic quality the debased and futile aspiration of men and women restless in a world of long hungers which must be satisfied quickly, if at all."-- Saturday Review of Literature, "Caldwell is one of the best . . . a master illusionist who can create, as Hemingway did, an impression of absolute reality."-- Time Magazine, "A beautifully integrated story of the barren southern farm and the shut southern mill, and one of the finest studies of the southern poor white which has ever come into our literature.

Juxtaposed against the Waldens' obsessive search is the story of Ty Ty's son-in-law, a cotton mill worker in a nearby town who is killed during a strike. First published in 1933, God's Little Acre was censured by the Georgia Literary Commission, banned in Boston, and once led the all-time best-seller list, with more than ten million copies in print.

Not a classic for sure.
I came across several controversial comments about the novel, so I decided to buy a copy and read it. So far, half way through, the story is strange and the characters not well drawn out. Furthermore, the writing is junior high level. Will not acquire any more novels by this author.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
