I first read it in 1984. I don't think I fully understood it at the time, but afterward I laughed and thought good story, but that will never happen in America. Impossible! And here we are. A few weeks ago my mom read it for the first time as part of her ladies only book club. They are into historical fiction genre. She was shocked and horrified and now can't stop talking about it. It was then I decided that other related books titles I've read I will not mention to her.
