Literature Forum The Street Novel by Ann Petry Questions
A young woman is a victim of her time, misogyny, racism and just plain bad luck, and her desperate attempts to claw out of the life that she has been Th into, and to save her son from the same fate. Your heart Anne Petrys Novel The Street for her and her son, and also for those around her who fight their own battles. It's not an easy read, as much of the text develops around the internal monologues of the various characters, each of whom have their own horror stories to tell, and who are all trapped in the system forced upon them, just trying to survive.
But this device works Anne Petrys Novel The Street, because as the characters try to rationalise what happens to them, it examines the issues they face from all directions, as they seek they find answers that they can live with, or at least a way out that causes least damage. I may not have sold this well - it's not as dry as I've made it sound, the sense of place and community is strong and you yearn for Lutie to finally break free, she see more her son are such likeable characters. Even Mrs Hedges has her good qualities. I thoroughly recommend this, it's sad that a book centring on endemic racism written in still has much to teach us, Pertys that alone shows how much further we still have to go.

Something so is impossible
You the abstract person

Certainly.
