Now in November	comment	Now in November is a 1934 novel by Josephine Johnson.It is basically The Grapes of Wrath, if the Joads had been able to stay on their farm. Arnold Hardmarne, having lost his job in a factory, takes his family—wife Willa, and daughters Kerrin, Marget (the narrator, who at the start of the story is 10), and Merle—to their ancestral plot of land in hopes of making it pay. But the life of a farmer is hard, and as it happens, Arnold isn't all that great at farming and doesn't like it. And as it turns out, the land is heavily mortgaged.Ten years pass. The family continues to live hand to mouth, going through the backbreaking labor of farm work, never getting ahead, always only barely able to make the mortgage payment. Kerrin, the feisty, spirited eldest daughter, begins to behave more erratically. Arnold is worn down by the endless drudgery. The family takes in a farmhand, a man named Grant, and a now-grown Marget falls in love with him—but Grant has eyes only for Merle. And just when things seem like they couldn't get worse, a terrible drought comes, and makes things worse.

Now in November / int_18d15922	comment	Title Drop: The first sentence of the novel, in fact the first three words, as Marget, ten years after the family came to the farm, is remembering when they arrived.

Now in November / int_1aed264f	comment	Happy Rain: Subverted. One particularly cruel Hope Spot has a storm come to the area. Dark clouds roll over, and there's a clap of thunder. Big drops of rain fall, and the family, deliriously happy that the terrible drought is over at last, starts pulling out washtubs to catch the rain. Then the clouds part, the rain stops as quickly as it started, and the drought continues.

Then she stops herself and reflects that lots of things, like, say, a drought, could ruin what very little they've been able to build. That is exactly what happens, as a drought comes and leaves the family devastated and on the brink of eviction.

Now in November / int_bb0c0a4d	comment	Fiery Redhead: Kerrin has hair that Marget describes as "like a thick red light." She is high-strung and spirited with a sharp temper. She is also the sort of person who, even when she was a child, practices throwing knives, or goes off to sleep in the barn just because she wants to. This trope eventually is subverted, however, when Kerrin's fiery spirit develops into actual mental illness, something like bipolar disorder.
