"At Swim, Two Boys" is a wonderful Irish coming of age novel by Jamie O'Neill, and the class of the boys definitely is a major theme.

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson

Nickled and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich

I'll nominate The Far Field by Madhuri Vijay.

Love this book!

The Chosen Place, The Timeless People This is by Paule Marshall. It is set on a Caribbean Island. Not only is the island divided by the haves (British wannabes) and have nots (the working class) but with the addition of two Americans a sociologist and his Main Line Philadelphia wife. Well told.

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell is a great book about the class divisions in Victorian England. It reminds me of Pride and Prejudice but it's more realistic.
