A must read for Chicagoans:
I don't usually read books of historical analysis but my love for Chicago combined with the intrigue of the title pulled me in. Garb has a fascinating way of telling the stories of late 19th, early 20th century Chicagoan families; weaving into the discussion of neighborhoods the stories of people's strategies and struggles to own their own homes. I feel a much deeper sense of understanding Chicago, and love the pictures of that era that are now firmly set in my mind,thanks to this book. I recommend this important book to anyone who owns a home in the Chicago area, or to anyone who just wants to know more about the fascinating history of Chicago.
