General Book Club- The Crops Look Good

We will be reading The Crops Look Good for September's General Book Club.

  • The Crops Look Good : News from a Midwestern Family Farm - De Luca, Sara, 1984-

The book focuses on the letters to Margaret, the oldest daughter of a family who farmed around Centuria, Wis. Margaret went off to school in Minneapolis, and eventually moved to California, making her a distant sounding board for letters from her sisters and mother. The initial letters from the early 1920s seem almost too ordinary, partly because we're not invested in these people. But then, slowly, we get to know them. We learn their back stories, quirks, dark challenges, dreams and setbacks. Anyone with a farm background may rightly feel a poignant familiarity here with their grandparents' era.

Princeton Public Library's General Book Club meets at 5:30 the first Tuesday of each month. The discussion is accompanied by a potluck dinner. Books are available at the circulation desk and all are welcome to attend.
