Thompson, Jean Reserve Kit The Year We Left Home Stretching from the early 1970s in the Iowa farmlands to suburban Chicago to the coast of contemporary Italy --- and moving through the Vietnam War's aftermath, the farm crisis, the numerous economic boomsand busts --- The Year We Left Home follows the Erickson siblings as they confront prosperity and heartbreak, setbacks and triumphs, and seek their place in a country whose only constant seems to be breathtaking change. Ambitious, richly told, and fiercely American, this is a vivid and moving meditation on our continual pursuit of happiness and an incisive exploration of the national character. 325 p. 2011 Adult Fiction Book Discussion Questions
