Published to unprecedented literary acclaim in 1924, the Pulitzer-winning novel So Big established Edna Ferber as one of the twentieth century’s major American storytellers. The enthralling and compellingly readable novel recounts a redoubtable woman’s efforts to create an authentic version of the American dream for herself and her son, nicknamed ’So Big, ’ by moving up without selling out. Today, So Big can find a new audience among readers who care for women who value their individuality and independence. This Warbler Classics edition includes an introduction by Ulrich Baer and a detailed biographical timeline.
