Book Description:
A thousand acres, a piece of land of almost mythic proportions. Upon this fertile, nourishing earth, Jane Smiley has set her rich, breathtakingly dramatic novel of an American family whose wealth cannot stay the hand of tragedy. It is the intense, compelling story of a father and his daughters, of sisters, of wives and husbands, and of the human cost of a lifetime spent trying to subdue the land and the passions it stirs. When their father, a wealthy farmer, decides to retire and offers to divide the land between his three daughters, Ginny and Rose accept the offer, but Caroline refuses and is banished from the family, which causes dark, deep rooted secrets to come to light that will forever change all of their lives.
