Named a "New York Times" Editors' Choice, a "People" magazine "Pick of the Week," and an Indie Next and Midwest Connections selection, "The Year We Left Home "is the career-defining novel that Jean Thompson's admirers have been waiting for: a sweeping and emotionally powerful story of a single American family during the tumultuous final decades of the twentieth century.

Stretching from the early 1970s in the Iowa farmlands to suburban Chicago and across the map of contemporary America--and moving through the Vietnam War's aftermath, the farm crisis, the numerous economic booms and busts--"The Year We Left Home" follows the Erickson siblings as they confront prosperity and heartbreak, setbacks and triumphs, and seek their place in a country whose only constant seems to be breathtaking change. Ambitious and richly told, this is a vivid and moving meditation on our continual pursuit of happiness and an incisive exploration of the national character.
