About the author
Ruth Suckow
35 books7 followersRuth Suckow (August 6, 1892 – January 23, 1960) was an American author.
Suckow is sometimes recalled as a "regionalist," but she did not consider herself such a writer. She said that she wrote about "people, situations, and their meaning." Her fiction was often set in Iowa, but was not parochial in outlook. Today her writing has value for readers who enjoy good storytelling as well as for social historians looking for details about life in the early 20th century, particularly in the small towns of Iowa.
Suckow's childhood home has been preserved at Calliope Village in Hawarden, Iowa.

I am a member of the Ruth Suckow Memorial Society; we all read this book for our most recent annual meeting, which was held at the Cedar Falls Public Library.
The Kramer Girls is a story about three sisters, and the choices they make. It is written by Ruth Suckow, who is sometimes called a regional writer and at other times called a realistic writer. She has a gift for dialogue and description that still strikes a chord for anyone who has lived in a small midwestern town.
