Edna Ferber
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and widely considered to be Edna Ferber’s greatest achievement, So Big is a classic novel of turn-of-the-century Chicago.
Hailed as a novel “to read and remember” (New York Times), So Big is the unforgettable story of the indomitable Selina Peake DeJong and her struggles to stay afloat and maintain her dignity in the face of a challenging marriage, widowhood, and single parenthood. First published in 1924, So Big is a brilliant literary masterwork from one of the 20th century's most accomplished and admired writers and still resonates today with its unflinching views of poverty, sexism, and the drive for success.

Edna Ferber’s So Big is a timeless and deeply moving novel that beautifully captures the struggles, sacrifices, and quiet triumphs of ordinary life. Ferber’s writing is rich and empathetic, and she has a gift for finding dignity and meaning in the daily rhythms of hard work, motherhood, and the pursuit of beauty. The central character, Selina Peake De Jong, is one of the most inspiring heroines in American literature—resilient, wise, and determined to create a better life not only for herself but for her son.
What makes this novel so powerful is the way Ferber balances the grit of reality with an unwavering belief in the importance of art, imagination, and integrity. It’s not just a story about farming, family, or ambition—it’s about what truly matters in life and how success can be measured in ways far deeper than money.
Reading So Big feels like uncovering a quiet masterpiece—humble, profound, and unforgettable. It’s no wonder it won the Pulitzer Prize; it is a novel that stays with you long after you finish, reminding you of the beauty in persistence and the courage it takes to live authentically.
