A Thousand Acres - Jane Smiley
The Pulitzer Prize-winning, bestselling novel from one of America's greatest contemporary writers. Proud and possessive, his sudden decision to retire and hand over the farm to his three daughters, is disarmingly uncharacteristic. Larry Cook's farm is the largest in Zebulon County, Iowa, and a tribute to his hard work and single-mindedness.
Immediately, her father cuts her out. Ginny and Rose, the two eldest, are startled yet eager to accept, but Caroline, the youngest daughter, has misgivings. In A Thousand Acres, Jane Smiley transposes the King Lear story to the modern day, and in so doing at once illuminates Shakespeare's original and subtly transforms it.
This astonishing novel won both of America's highest literary awards, the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Critics' Circle Award.
