Giant by Edna Ferber

Classic black hardcover book titled 'Giant' by Edna Ferber. Elegant and timeless, the pages in this book are gorgeous. Edna Ferber's 1952 novel Giant is a sweeping saga of cattle, oil, and social change in 1950s Texas. The story centers on Leslie Lynnton, a strong-willed Virginia woman who marries wealthy Texas rancher Bick Benedict. Through Leslie's critical eyes, readers witness Texas's classism, racism, and excessive spending. Leslie is also critical of the ranch's reliance on poorly paid and mistreated Mexican laborers.
