Description
The Milagro Beanfield War A Novel by John Nichols is a poignant portrayal of a small town's struggle for survival. In this novel, Joe Mondragon's bold move to tap into the main irrigation channel sparks a patchwork war that will change the fate of his community forever. As the story unfolds, the small farmers and sheepmen rally behind Joe's beanfield as a symbol of their lost rights and lands. Meanwhile, downstate in the capital, powerful interests converge to destroy this symbol before it threatens their lucrative land-development schemes. The result is a wildly comic and lovingly tender tale that vividly captures the town's journey toward its own stubborn salvation. Through its characters and events, this novel offers a nuanced exploration of the human spirit and the power of community in the face of adversity.
