A student herself at the University of Illinois, it is easy to guess Hormel's work is somewhat autobiographical. The novel's main character is Lucia, whose experience with her studies, sorority life and social circles paints a picture of a time on campus ready to fall into the national economic unrest of The Great Depression.plain2016-02-24T12:25:02-08:00Justin Williamsb70f963b476d25237566bff71436a8ecd9b41b86
