More DescriptionSet in the farm country of north central Indiana, just south of the Big Four railroad tracks, this extraordinary first novel tells the story of 30-year-old Arthur Conason, who returns after many years to his family's abandoned farmhouse to work as a hired hand to the farm's new owner. South of the Big Four is a gracefully told, arresting look at a land where community, trust, and commitment grow irrelevant to the hopes and dreams of individuals, and where a new kind of forgiveness and understanding must be found. In the tradition of A Thousand Acres and A Map of the World, the novel's sudden truths and lasting images transcend the daily lives of its Midwestern characters to create a penetrating, resonant story.
