Spotlight #BookReview: APPRAISALS by Claire Boyles, for readers who enjoy slow paced literary fiction, centered on modern small farming issues. #ClaireBoyles @w.w.norton #literaryfiction #bookgroups #bookdiscussion #Colorado #smallfarmfiction #environmentalfiction #bookstagram #booksky
Spotlight Review: APPRAISALS by Claire Boyles
CLICK TO PURCHASE From the publisher: Financial and ecological realities tear at the heart of a multigenerational farm family in this debut novel from a “deft and daring” (Los Angeles Times) Whiting Award winner. Maggie Brandt is finishing her third season as a small-scale organic vegetable farmer in rural Colorado when the Great Recession of 2008 hits. After months of unemployment, her husband, Fish, takes a job with an oil and gas company, a decision that rocks Maggie and their fifteen-year-old daughter, Ozzie, both committed environmentalists.
