About the book: The Big Rock Candy Mountain is set in the Mountain West and Canada in the first three decades of the 20th century. A semi-autobiographical novel by the Pulitzer prize winning novelist Wallace Stegner, it follows the fortunes of the Mason family as they struggle to survive the lean years of the early twentieth century.
Sinopsis
Bo Mason, his wife, Elsa, and their two boys live a transient life of poverty and despair. Drifting from town to town and from state to state, the violent, ruthless Bo seeks out his fortune—in the hotel business, in new farmland, and, eventually, in illegal rum-running through the treacherous back roads of the American Northwest. Stegner portrays more than thirty years in the life of the Mason family in this masterful, harrwoing saga of people trying to survive during the lean years of the early twentieth century.
