About this product
Product Information
PULITZER PRIZE WINNER - NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A powerful and poignant twentieth-century reimagining of Shakespeare's King Lear ( The New York Times Book Review ) that takes on themes of truth, justice, love, and pride--and centers on a wealthy Iowa farmer who decides to divide his farm between his three daughters. When the youngest daughter 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. Ambitiously conceived and stunningly written, A Thousand Acres reveals the beautiful yet treacherous topography of humanity. "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
