LibriVox recording of Alice Adams by Booth Tarkington Read by Jeannie
A Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Alice Adams chronicles the attempts of a lower middle class American midwestern family at the turn of the 20th century to climb the social ladder. The eponymous heroine is at the heart of the story, a young woman who wants a better place in society and a better life. As Gerard Previn Meyer has stated, "Apart from being the contribution to social history its author conceived it to be, [Alice Adams] is something more, that something being what has attracted to it so large a public: its portrait of a (despite her faults) 'lovable girl'." (Summary by Jeannie)

Subject:
A great Tarkington book and the reader was excellent
I decided to try another Tarkington book after listening to the Magnificent Ambersons which I liked a lot. While this novel wasn't as deep as that one it was very moving and the ending will throw you for a loss. By the way the 1935 movie with Katherine Hepburn idiotically changed the ending making the film into some kind of romantic comedy/drama instead of the deeper work it is. I guess during the Depression years they wanted happy endings but the book's ending in its own way was even more happier and noble than the movies' ludicrous ending.
