More about the book

Set in the 1910s, the novel follows Carol Milford, a progressive librarian who marries a doctor and moves to the small town of Gopher Prairie. Disillusioned by the town's dullness and narrow-minded residents, Carol strives to modernize the community with her optimistic ideas. However, she faces resistance and ridicule, yet remains determined to fight for her vision. The narrative offers a sharp satire of small-town America, showcasing Sinclair Lewis's vivid descriptions and character development, which contributed to his Nobel Prize win in 1930.
