Jane Smiley's Some Luck
I’ve been reading a lot of fantasy and sci fi books over this pandemic, because I prefer to be able to sink entirely into a whole engrossing world. But I forgot that some non-genre authors can suck you in that way, too. So I’m glad I reread this for book club—the first book in the Langdon Family Trilogy, covering a young family on a farm in Iowa from 1920 to the 1950s. Just great characters and great details, messy and tragic and bittersweet and full of care.
