Some Luck by Jane Smiley395 Pages
This book is the sage of a farming family in Iowa in the years 1920-1953. As time progresses we see the couple Rosanna and Walter Langdon have children and suffer through the years of the depression, droughts and World War II. The narrative jumps from Langdon to Langdon but progresses linearly until 1953. Supposedly Smiley will be writing two more books in the Langdon family saga.
If you haven't read any Jane Smiley I would recommend Horse Heaven or A Thousand Acres as well as this novel. She has a very easy style and you will quickly get engrossed in the story.
