A Thousand Acres (Pulitzer Prize Winner)

“Brilliant…. Absorbing…. A thrilling work of art.” —Chicago Sun-Times

“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

“Powerful and poignant.” —The New York Times Book Review

“Superb…. There seems to be nothing Smiley can’t write about fabulously well.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“It has been a long time since a novel so surprised me with its power to haunt…. A Thousand Acres [has] the prismatic quality of the greatest art.” —Chicago Tribune

“Absorbing…. Exhilarating…. An engrossing piece of fiction.” —Time

“A full, commanding novel…. A story bound and tethered to a lonely road in the Midwest, but drawn from a universal source…. Profoundly American.” —The Boston Globe
