The Farm

Meer over het boek

Set in the 1940s and 1950s, the narrative follows Mark Curran's upbringing on a family farm near Abilene, Kansas, a town rich in history and notable for its cattle drives and connection to Dwight D. Eisenhower. The farm, nearly self-sufficient, produced wheat, alfalfa, and corn, reflecting a lifestyle that is now rare. Curran's reflections highlight a shared nostalgia for a way of life that resonates with many who have transitioned from rural to urban living, capturing the essence of a bygone era in American history.
