36:14Now PlayingIn the vein of her Pulitzer-winning A Thousand Acres, Smiley’s fifteenth work of fiction for adults is a novel of time-honored rural ways and the social and cultural changes that test them. Centering on the Langdons of Denby, Iowa, the book opens just after the Great War and closes in the early days of the Cold War, following the five very different Langdon children as they grow up and find their own directions in the world.
