If you didn't read this in high school or college, read it now! For me, this story is the life of a farmer who is born poor and, until the very end, desires so much more of his life and for his family - including his wife, who is long-suffering and regal in her misery. It is a story of heartache and triumph, of slight and might - and in the end, it is the story of any place, time or people. I suppose you could call that timeless, although it doesn't quite fit here. Well-written and full of wisdom hidden in the struggles the farmer faces, I would recommend this book to anyone, young or old.
