Originally published in 1969, The Inland Island remains a powerful and relevant story about a woman, the farm she loves, and the gradual invasion of an increasingly mechanized society. Johnson received the Pulitzer Prize in 1935 for her novel Now in November. "The Inland Island is a slender little green book full of marvels.
