Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Six years after her Pulitzer Prize-winning best-seller, "A Thousand Acres," and three years after her witty, acclaimed, and best-selling novel of academe, "Moo," Jane Smiley once again demonstrates her extraordinary range and brilliance.The novel, set in the 1850s, speaks to us in a splendidly quirky voice--the strong, wry, no-nonsense voice of Lidie Harkness of Quincy, Illinois, a young woman of courage, good sense, and good heart. It carries us into an America so violently torn apart by the question of slavery that it makes our current political battlegrounds seem a peaceable kingdom.
