In the first chapter we've been told what something isn't. Also, this quite a prosperous family (a TV in 1957?) to have four kids with twins inbound on a mill worker's salary.

The characters, (men, anyway) are fully formed with distinct voices--no easy task with a cast this large. But as my slow progress demonstrates, I'm struggling with the pace. There is a lot of self-indulgence here and I see the signs of literary construct around the edges of the story.

The dialogue, (between men, anyway) is like conversations with old friends. Dialogue involving women is more terse and/or stern.
