Sophie's Choice on amazon.com has the book listed to have 576 pages in the paperback version - I think that means you are MORE than good to go. :)

Try "Native Son" by Richard Wright. It's a good book that deals with many American themes. It might be a bit long, though. I can't remember how many pages it has, but it's a captivating read.

A summary from Amazon.com:

"Bigger Thomas is doomed, trapped in a downward spiral that will lead to arrest, prison, or death, driven by despair, frustration, poverty, and incomprehension. As a young black man in the Chicago of the '30s, he has no way out of the walls of poverty and racism that surround him, and after he murders a young white woman in a moment of panic, these walls begin to close in. There is no help for him--not from his hapless family; not from liberal do-gooders or from his well-meaning yet naive friend Jan; certainly not from the police, prosecutors, or judges. Bigger is debased, aggressive, dangerous, and a violent criminal. As such, he has no claim upon our compassion or sympathy. And yet...
A more compelling story than Native Son has not been written in the 20th century by an American writer. That is not to say that Richard Wright created a novel free of flaws, but that he wrote the first novel that successfully told the most painful and unvarnished truth about American social and class relations. As Irving Howe asserted in 1963, "The day Native Son appeared, American culture was changed forever. It made impossible a repetition of the old lies [and] brought out into the open, as no one ever had before, the hatred, fear and violence that have crippled and may yet destroy our culture."

I don't know if Sophie is 200. But there's The Scarlett Letter. The Crucible. (Crucible might not be 200 -it's a play.) That book that Dances With Wolves was made from?

Honey, don't you know that that is cheating? 22 pages is NOT so much. Perhaps if you read more you would learn how to spell. To paraphrade an old saying, "The journey of 200 pages starts with page 1. " JUST DO IT

this would be a substantial spoiler, yet you asked for it: she had to chosen which one in all her babies would stay and which might die, the nazis would in basic terms permit her have one in all the two.
