Early Warning (The Last Hundred Years Trilogy: A Family Saga)

One of the Best Books of the Year: San Francisco Chronicle

Itâ€™s 1953, and the Langdons are at a crossroads. Walter, their stalwart patriarch, has died unexpectedly, and his wife must try to keep their farm going. But of their five children, only one will remain to work the land. The others scatter to Washington, DC, California, and everywhere in between.

As the country moves into the Cold War, through the social revolutions of the â€˜60s and â€˜70s, and into the unprecedented wealthâ€”for someâ€”of the early â€˜80s, the Langdon children have children of their own: twin boys who are best friends and vicious rivals; a girl whose rebellious spirit takes her to the notorious Peoples Temple in San Francisco; and a golden boy who drops out of college to fight in Vietnamâ€”leaving behind a secret legacy. Capturing a transformative period through characters we come to know and love, this second volume in Jane Smiley's epic trilogy brings to life the challengesâ€”and rewardsâ€”of family and home, even in the most turbulent of times.
