A 1992 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel based on a film of the same name starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Jessica Lange. A novel that critics called outstanding, bewitching, frightening, truthful and beautiful. This is the story of the family of Larry Cook, the owner of a huge thousand-acre farm that has become a bone of contention for his three daughters: Ginny, Rose and Caroline. This is a drama balancing between anger and despair, resentment and forgiveness, love and hate. How many skeletons are kept behind seven locks in the heirloom cupboards of the wealthy Cook family? How many conflicts, smoldering for years and decades, are just waiting for a chance to break out into a full-fledged fire? How many sad and shameful mysteries may one day come to light? And what will happen when the long-hidden madness of a cruel and domineering father of three adult daughters finally breaks free?
