California Street is a captivating novel written by Niven Busch. The story is set in San Francisco in the early 1900s and follows the lives of two families, the wealthy and influential Sutro family and the working-class O'Connors. The novel explores the societal and economic differences between the two families and the impact it has on their relationships.The Sutro family is led by patriarch Adolph Sutro, a wealthy businessman and former mayor of San Francisco. His daughter, Lorraine, is a beautiful and headstrong young woman who is torn between her love for her father and her desire for independence. The O'Connors, on the other hand, are struggling to make ends meet. The family is led by patriarch Mike O'Connor, a hard-working Irish immigrant, and his wife, Bridget.As the story unfolds, the lives of the two families become intertwined in unexpected ways. Lorraine falls in love with Michael O'Connor, the son of Mike and Bridget, and the two families are brought together through their relationship. However, their love is met with opposition from both families, who disapprove of their union due to their different social classes.California Street is a beautifully written novel that explores themes of love, class, and family. Niven Busch's vivid descriptions of San Francisco and its surroundings transport the reader to another time and place.
