About this product

Product Information

A successful Iowa farmer decides to divide his farm between his three daughters. When the youngest objects, she is cut out of his will. This sets off a chain of events that brings dark truths to light and explodes long-suppressed emotions. An ambitious reimagining of Shakespeare's King Lear cast upon a typical American community in the late twentieth century, A Thousand Acres takes on themes of truth, justice, love, and pride, and reveals the beautiful yet treacherous topography of humanity.

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

    A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley

    I decided to buy this book after seeing the movie made from the book. The movie was well done and handled a senitive subject matter discretely,yet one knew what was happening. The subject of the book is a matter of family interaction and consequences of abusive history of the father upon his daughters. The book is insightful and well written. The fact that this book was purchased for a nominal price and promptly delivered is really a good feature of using this media. Often times I see something that sparks an interest and want to know more about it or where I can get the book about a movie and my quest is quickly achieved. It is a paperback and in excellent condition and easily inserted in my purse.

    A fine novel that grabs your gut and won’t let you stop until it’s read!

    OK. It won a Pulitzer Prize. It is very good and takes you straight home to IOWA
