Unfortunately, this book did not grab my attention as I thought it might from its title. Although I tried several restarts of reading this e-book, I was unsuccessful in getting through it. Perhaps another reader will be able to provide a more positive review. ( )Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I won this book from Library Thing Early Reviewers. Wow! I really enjoyed this book. The book is about a married couple in Kansas during the drought of the 1930's. Sonny & Clara are at odds over their family farm, either abandon it and head to California like most others are doing, or stay and struggle to keep their farm. Clara takes off and Sonny refuses to give up and leave their farm. Sonny comes up with a scheme to keep the farm and get his wife back. A very realistic account of how people were affected by the 1930's drought in the midwest. I couldn't put this book down. I highly recommend it. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"Sonny and Clara Myers struggle on their Kansas farm in the late 1930s, a time the Lord gave up on: their land's gone dry, barren, and worthless; the bankers are greedy and hungry, trying to squeeze them and other farmers out of their homes; and, on top of that, their marriage is in trouble. The couple can struggle and wither along with the land or surrender to the bankers and hightail it to California like most of the others. Clara is all for leaving, but Sonny refuses to abandon the family farm. In a fit of temper, she takes off westward in their old battered truck. Alone on the farm and determined to get back Clara and the good old days, Sonny comes up with an idea, a way to keep his land and even prosper while giving the banks a taste of their own misery. He sets the scheme in motion under the cover of the commotion being caused by a rainmaker hired by the mayor to call down the thunder and wash away everyone's troubles."-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
