Some Luck-------pan macmillan
The first novel in a dazzling new epic trilogy from the winner of
the Pulitzer Prize; a literary adventure that will span a century in
America.
1920. After his return from the battlefields in France, Walter
Langdon and his wife Rosanna begin their life together on a remote farm
in Iowa. As time passes, their little family will grow: from Frank,
the handsome, willful first-born, to Joe, whose love of animals and the
land sustains him; from Lillian, beloved by her mother, to Henry who
craves only the world of his books; and Claire, the surprise baby, who
earns a special place in her father's heart.
As Walter and Rosanna struggle to keep their family through good
years and hard years - to years more desperate than they ever could
have imagined, the world around their little farm will turn, and life
for their children will be unrecognizable from what came before. Some
will fall in love, some will have families of their own, some will go
to war and some will not survive. All will mark history in their own
way.
Tender, compelling and moving from the 1920s to the 1950s, told in
multiple voices as rich as the Iowan soil, Some Luck is an astonishing
feat of storytelling by a prize-winning author writing at the height of
her powers.
