Join us at the Gunn Memorial Library to discuss A Thousand Acres by celebrated author Jane Smiley.
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 action 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 humanity’s beautiful yet treacherous topography.
