Publisher Description: "The road out to the Bromfman farm in late August is no different from thousands of other roads to grain farms in Kansas--hard-baked dirt dusted with a fine powder of yellow clay that shifts almost imperceptibly with the slightest movement of the air. Randy Larsen was on his way to the farm in response to a call saying someone had died out there." Thus begins the suspenseful story of a poor farming family in which each generation holds the next in its deadly, predictable grip until murderous opposition explodes. The characters, all beautifully drawn and sympathetic in their own way, are determined to escape this fate, and some seem close to doing so. Thomas Ogden's debut novel has received international recognition and Best Seller Ranking: Israel's Critics' Choice 2017 Top 10 works of fiction. "A beautiful and touching novel." --Maariv, Tel Aviv "Without any harshness, and with a steady voice, Ogden writes the story of trauma, transmitted from one generation to the next, until it is interrupted, violently." --Ha'aretz, Tel Aviv Praise from Italy: |
