RecommendedI would recommend this book to any junior who wants to write about a pre-WWII era of industrialism and immigration. Not for someone who wants to write about the pop culture of the time. It goes into the lives of various characters and their experiences at that time. For me, someone who wanted to write about how music has changed since that time, it wasn't a great entrance to explore that topic.
Summary
Ragtime is a story told through the eyes of different characters, all of them starting their new lives in New Rochelle, NY. The story is told with many different layers of adversity and hostility. All of the different characters face similar challenges on the way to making a new life like, death, bankruptcy, corruption and much more.
Who would be interested in this book?
Someone writing about the history of the early 1900's in the U.S. and looking to write about immigration and the American Dream would be interested in this book.
