Suspecting I was born in the wrong era, I have always been fascinated by pioneer life. As a child, I read Little House on the Prairie and imagined a simpler time. Rölvaag captures that feeling for me with the story of Per Hansa, who travels from Norway with his wife and three children to the prairie of South Dakota to stake a claim. There are golden waves of grain and sweeping landscapes, but there is also a dark side to their new life. Illness, deafening quiet, locusts, madness, and fear threaten their dream of a little house on the prairie. Giants in the Earth is the first of a trilogy which follows the family through the generations. Kate, Powells.com
