Customer Reviews

Beautiful writing, profound truths

The Farm is a beautiful story about the settling of America and about a love for the land. Told in narrative form, it traces the lives of several early settlers in north central Ohio over a period of about 100 years. The Farm presents a picture of how quickly life changed over those years due to immigration, industrialization and the evolution of democracy. This is a semi-autobiographical story by a writer who has been all but forgotten.
