About this product

Product Information

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. The most critically acclaimed novel of the literary season, a classic story of contemporary American life, A THOUSAND ACRES is destined to be read for years to come. "It has been a long time since a novel so surprised me with its power to haunt . . . . Its genius grows from its ruthless acceptance of the divided nature of every character . . . . This gives A THOUSAND ACRES the prismatic quality of the greatest art." -- Chicago Tribune Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award From the Trade Paperback edition.

Reviews
"Brilliant. . . . Absorbing. . . . A thrilling work of art." -Chicago Sun-Times "A family portrait that is also a near-epic investigation into the broad landscape, the thousand dark acres of the human heart. . . . The book has all the stark brutality of a Shakespearean tragedy." -The Washington Post Book World "Powerful and poignant." -The New York Times Book Review "Superb. . . . There seems to be nothing Smiley can't write about fabulously well." -San Francisco Chronicle "It has been a long time since a novel so surprised me with its power to haunt. . . .A Thousand Acres[has] the prismatic quality of the greatest art." -Chicago Tribune "Absorbing. . . . Exhilarating. . . . An engrossing piece of fiction." -Time "A full, commanding novel. . . . A story bound and tethered to a lonely road in the Midwest, but drawn from a universal source. . . . Profoundly American." -The Boston Globe From the Trade Paperback edition.

    A Thousand Acres

    This is an excellent book. As a western rendition of King Lear, it's interesting and very well-written. Highly recommended to those who enjoy good literature.
