Jane Smiley - A Thousand Acres

Just a great read.

Last time - over a decade ago - I think I was more caught up in the grand human drama and emotions of it, and while that still tugged at me, on this read it was Ginny's and Rose's childhood trauma and the way it's both paradigm and operating cause for the broader setting and events of the novel that I found most striking.
