Description - The Living Is Easy by Dorothy West

This stunning first novel by the author of "The Wedding" is one of only a handful of novels published by black women during the 1940s. It tells the story of Cleo Judson, daughter of southern sharecroppers and wife of 'Black Banana King' Bart Judson. Cleo seeks to recreate her original family by urging her sisters and their children to live with her, while rearing her daughter to be a member of Boston's black elite. Dorothy West (1907-1998) brings us this delightfully wry novel that challenges moral and social boundaries.
