Aging Larry Cook decides to turn over his 1000 acre Iowa farm to his three daughters, Caroline, Ginny and Rose. When Caroline is less than enthusiastic about the prospect, Larry angrily cuts her out of the deal. This sets off a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions, reminiscent of King Lear, and pits father against daughter, sister against sister. The novel won the Pulitzer Prize in 1992. It was also produced (1997?) as a major motion picture featuring Michelle Pfeiffer, Jessica Lange, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Colin Firth.
