Main Street
by Sinclair Lewis
In this classic, Sinclair Lewis broke the sentimental American myth of a happy life in a small town with his satire. Main Street is attacked by the appropriateness and arrogance of Midwestern village life, in the history of Carol Milford, an urban girl who married an urban doctor in the early 20th century. The attempt to bring culture to the village of the meadow is met by a wall of gossip, greed and small-minded bigotry.
