A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley won the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. It was made into a film in 1997. This book is written as a contemporary parallel to Shakespeare's King Lear. The plot involves, Larry Cook, an aging farmer who hands his thousand acre farm over to his three daughters and drama ensues. This book is for the more mature reader who likes to think and brood over characters, plot, and themes. P.S. Don't forget to feed the fish!
