About this listen
Seduced by the government’s offer of 320 acres per homesteader, Americans and Europeans rushed to Montana and the Dakotas to fulfill their own American dream in the first decade of the twentieth century. Raban’s stunning evocation of the harrowing, desperate reality behind the homesteader’s dream strips away the myth—while preserving the romance—that has shrouded our understanding of our own heartland.
©1996 Jonathan Raban (P)2022 Blackstone PublishingThe narrative spins between the present and bleak tales of the early settlers and their tough lives.
This was such a different experience to reading previous books by Raban - happy to join this narrator on another literary adventure.
You have to concentrate as Raban's narrative jumps around on his travels - so maybe best not listen this when you are doing busy work?
