Boston, novel by
Upton Sinclair, published in 1928.
The story of
Sacco and Vanzetti is told through the experiences of Cornelia Thornwall, who, at age 60 after the death of her husband, an ex‐governor and industrial magnate, runs away from wealth and respectability to obtain a six‐dollar‐a‐week job in the Plymouth Cordage Factory. Her fellow boarder is Bartolomeo Vanzetti, and through him Cornelia becomes acquainted with Sacco and other anarchists, witnesses a factory strike, sees pickets clubbed by police, and, in time, the arrests and trials of Sacco and Vanzetti, who are doomed to execution because of the views of Boston's ruling class, despite the help she, her granddaughter Betty, and others extend to the two men.
