I didn’t expect this book to hit so close to home. It’s set in rural Iowa (with mentions of Kansas), which I imagine isn’t all too different from the Kansas and northern Oklahoma I grew up in (in terms of nature descriptions, like brown grass and grasshoppers, and food, like cornmeal mush). Makes me want to write about my great grandparents’ homestead and family history 🥹
