Thank you Netgalley, the author and publisher for this advanced copy. I absolutely loved this book. I could not put it down. Jane is so well written. The story is heartbreaking and had be sobbing throughout. I loved how the author immersed us in the life of Jane’s family and all the new technological advances did seem so foreign. This is the kind of book that should be part of an English literature curriculum.

I got an e-arc from NetGalley for this book, and I am so glad I did. It is my arc for the month and this book was refreshing in-between reads. It got me out of my reading slump. I could not stop reading. This book follows Jane as she takes on the role of a farmer's wife in the 1930's New York. We see her story of liberation unfold as she becomes a courageous and progressive woman. Jane is a farmer's wife, she has kids and she raises these kids day in an day out. She has an emotionally unavailable, stoic husband that only wants what's best for the farm. We see Jane slowly develop into a the newer era of how things are changing for women through the help of the progressive school teacher. I love the history this novel goes through it is subtle and gentle. We see the characters go through the downsides of war. This book is caring and encouraging really it is a warm hug to women everywhere. I felt so much for Jane. I wanted her to be free from those old timey ways for women. I am glad she found the strength to break-free and live as a progressive woman with her family. Great historical fiction read!
