''The Road Through the Wall'' is a 1948 novel by author Shirley Jackson. It draws upon Jackson's own experiences growing up in Burlingame, California.〔The Road Through the Wall by Shirley Jackson, Book Review, Popular Library, 1976〕 Reviewing Jackson's first novel in the ''Montreal Gazette'', Wilbur Atchison wrote: "Miss Jackson is no Sinclair Lewis; she is only 28. But she does in her most recent work show a remarkable talent for putting on paper the everyday happenings which at times make life a pleasure and sometimes make it pretty grim."〔''Montreal Gazette'', May 22, 1948〕 ==Plot summary== The novel relates life on Pepper Street, a suburban, middle class neighborhood in Cabrillo, California. It takes place in 1936. The residents consider themselves upstanding citizens, although they are highly parochial in their worldview; for example, they refuse to socialize with the neighborhood's one Jewish family or with a working mother of a disabled child who rents a home on the street. The novel describes the way in which a hole being torn through the wall that has long cut off the end of the street disrupts life in the community.
