The second book in Conrad Richter's The Awakening Land trilogy is The Fields. It continues the story of Sayward Luckett but now she has grown up, married and has a family of her own. The book follows her development of the land her father left her when he abandoned his family in the prior book after Sayward's mother died. The historical novel takes place in the early 1800s in south eastern Ohio. Although the place names are fiction the location would be modern Ross County Ohio, which is the Chillicothe area. Not only does Sayward's story continue in this second book but so does the story of the other people who live in the area. I am enjoying this trilogy and will listen to the third book too. The audible version is narrated by one of my favorite vocal artists and he handles the dialect wonderfully. Please click on the book title and the author's name above to follow the links to more information. And enjoy the video that follows. I hope others will enjoy some of the work by this classic American 20th Century author.
