Beschreibung

A restless woman confronts the narrow expectations of small-town America. Carol Milford dreams of bringing beauty, culture, and progressive ideas to the world around her. After marrying country doctor Will Kennicott, she moves to Gopher Prairie, Minnesota, expecting to transform the town into a more vibrant and enlightened community. Instead, she encounters complacency, gossip, rigid social customs, and fierce resistance to change. With wit, sympathy, and unsparing observation, Sinclair Lewis examines the pressures of conformity and the loneliness of those who challenge accepted values. Main Street. is both a vivid portrait of American small-town life and a searching novel about marriage, ambition, identity, and the struggle to remain independent within a restrictive society.
