Description

A haunting and powerful novel about the decline of rural America. Leaving the Land is a beautifully written tale that explores the effects of corporate farming and agribusiness on small communities. The story centers around Marge Hogan, a strong-willed woman whose way of life is slowly destroyed by the forces of modernity. With its spare and clean prose, this book paints a vivid portrait of a community in crisis, where tradition and individuality are threatened by the relentless march of progress. A mature and unsentimental debut, Leaving the Land is an affecting and realistic portrayal of rural America's struggles to survive in a rapidly changing world.
