1930. A novel concerning an Irish family farming in northwest Iowa.
The book begins: Direction?...There was no direction. The prairie
stretched to the end of the world. Nell Connor, seated on a high
wagon, swayed with the motion of the ox team and closed her eyes.
Would there be, perhaps, some change in this scene when she looked
again? No. No change. She became insensible to the prattle of Tim
and the children, and listened to Dutch Fred as he directed his
oxen. Gee-e. Haw! Haw! Ha-! On, on toward an elusive horizon. Did
that driver with the long, bushy beard and kind gray eyes really
know of a destination? Where was he taking the Connor family? Why
had Tim selected land so far, far from any signs of life? It was
hours, days, since the railroad terminal-the last connection with
civilization-had been swallowed in those palpitating grasses.
