Reviews

“A stunning, pitch-perfect tale of a star-crossed, Depression-era love triangle. National Book Award finalist Laura McNeal is a magnificent writer.” —Lily King, author of Euphoria

“Laura McNeal’s tale of Aldine McKenna’s journey from Scotland to the drought-stricken wheat fields of Kansas is written with a deftness and lyricism that recalls Colm Tóibín’s Brooklyn. It is at once about an immigrant’s journey, a family’s epic, and a necessary history told straight from the heart. It’s the kind of book readers will return to again and again.” —Douglas Unger, author of Leaving the Land and Voices from Silence

“A vibrant, stirring gem of a book.” —Ron Hansen, National Book Award Finalist for Atticus

“The novel, in its understated and brilliantly imagined scenes, draws us into the everyday joys and the wrenching struggles of Aldine McKenna’s journey. It opens up her heart to us.” —Darrell Spencer, author of Bring Your Legs With You

“The memorable characters, well-constructed setting, and beautiful prose make the novel shine. Dust, lust, and human drama rendered with sensitivity, depth, and breadth.” —Kirkus Reviews
