Synopsis
This historical novel, set in the 1850s, is about an independent-minded young woman named Lidie Harkness. She impulsively marries an abolitionist she hardly knows, and sets off with him from Illinois to the Kansas Territory--a venue that challenges even Lidie’s ability to cope with hardship. Jane Smiley brings the period, and the bittersweet adventures of her quirky characters, to vibrant life. A New York Times Notable Book for 1998.
