Description

Set throughout the Depression in the exhausted farmlands around Augusta, Georgia, Tobacco Road was initially published in 1932. It's the tale of the Lesters, a household of white sharecroppers thus desolate that many of the creditors have abadndoned them. Debased by poverty to an important state-of envy and prejudice, the Lesters are busy by their starvation, erotic longings, and concern that they can sometime descend into a lower rung on the social ladder compared to dark households who live near them.
