Set in the early 20th century, this satirical novel critiques small-town life through the eyes of its protagonist, Carol Kennicott. As she attempts to bring culture and modernity to the conservative town of Gopher Prairie, her struggles highlight the tension between individual aspirations and societal norms. Lewis explores themes of conformity, gender roles, and the challenges of progressive ideals in a stagnant environment, using sharp wit and keen observation to reveal the complexities of American life during that era.
