Credible historic description of how the daily life was for the middle-class during the financial crisis of 1929

I would recommend reading the novel "City Boy," by Herman Wouk. It was set in 1928, just before the 1929 crisis, and gave a description of middle class life going into (but not after) the 1929 crisis.

For an account of life during the 1930s itself, the "classic" is John Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath," about how formerly middle class people fell into poverty.
