Description
In the heart of Iowa, a sprawling thousand-acre farm becomes the battleground for family legacy and devastating secrets. When an aging patriarch decides to divide his land among his three daughters, the seemingly simple act unravels a complex web of ambition, betrayal, and simmering resentments. As the daughters navigate the harsh realities of rural life, from strained marriages to financial ruin, they are forced to confront the dark truths that lie beneath the surface of their seemingly idyllic existence. Jane Smiley masterfully crafts a poignant and powerful narrative that explores the enduring bonds of family and the profound consequences of unspoken pain.
