Ragtime, the jaunty, toe-tapping music that captivated American society from the 1890s through World War I, forms the roots of America s popular musical expression. But the understanding of ragtime and its era has been clouded by a history of murky impressions, half-truths, and inventive fictions.

Good book, not amazing or one is read again, but worth reading.

I am not sure why I didn't read this when it came out (maybe I thought it was fluff?) but I read this all in one gulp--it was that enjoyable!!!!

This was my favorite book for about three years after seeing the musical adaptation of the same name. The story is amazing, very adult and honest- something I loved when I was younger and which I still appreciate to this day.
