A review by camdailey
A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley

4.0

Read this for a class on adaptations -- I thought this was a wonderful adaption of King Lear that stuck beautifully to the plot with its own interesting interpretation. I wasn't sure about it in the beginning but I ended up really really enjoying it. The character dynamics were very interesting to explore and I loved being able to see motivations behind the sisters that you don't get in the original Lear.
