Synopsis

Barn Blind
218 pp. 8vo. Author's first book. 'The verdant pastures of a farm in Illinois have the placid charm of a landscape painting. But the horses that graze there have become the obsession of a woman who sees them as the fulfillment of every wish: to win, to be honored, to be the best. Her ambition is the galvanizing force in Jane Smiley's first novel, a force that will drive a wedge between her and her family, and bring them all to tragedy. Written with the grace and quiet beauty of her Pulitzer-Prize-winning novel, A Thousand Acres, Barn Blind is a spellbinding story on the classic American themes of work, love, and duty, and the excesses we commit to achieve success.'Keywords: JANE SMILEY BARN BLIND LITERATURE FICTION PULITZER PRIZE WINNERS FIRST EDITION SIGNED
