“I didn’t get the feeling that I was reading a typical book. It was almost as if I were spying on these people’s lives.

Except for the last names, which reflected the post-World War II migration out from the city center, it could have been a suburb in Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, or any other American city. Suburban kids learned early that food came from grocery …
