Product Description

The Pulitzer Prize-winning, bestselling novel from one of America’s greatest contemporary writers.

Larry Cook’s farm is the largest in Zebulon County, Iowa, & a tribute to his hard work & single-mindedness. Proud & possessive, his sudden decision to retire & hand over the farm to his three daughters, is disarmingly uncharacteristic.

Ginny & Rose, the two eldest, are startled yet eager to accept, but Caroline, the youngest daughter, has misgivings. Immediately, her father cuts her out.

In A Thousand Acres, Jane Smiley transposes the King Lear story to the modern day, & in so doing at once illuminates Shakespeare’s original & subtly transforms it. This astonishing novel won both of America’s highest literary awards, the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction & the National Book Critics’ Circle Award.
