PULITZER PRIZE WINNER ? NATIONAL BESTSELLER ? A "powerful and poignant" twentieth-century reimagining of Shakespeare's King Lear (The New York Times Book Review) that takes on themes of truth, justice, love, and pride -- and centers on a wealthy Iowa farmer who decides to divide his farm between his three daughters.

When the youngest daughter objects, she is cut out of his will. This sets off a chain of events that brings dark truths to light and explodes long-suppressed emotions. Ambitiously conceived and stunningly written, A Thousand Acres reveals the beautiful yet treacherous topography of humanity.

"A family portrait that is also a near-epic investigation into the broad landscape, the thousand dark acres of the human heart... The book has all the stark brutality of a Shakespearean tragedy." -- The Washington Post Book World
