This month's selection is A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley. 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. Winner of the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction
