Reviews
PRAISE FOR BOTTOMLAND "Hoover skillfully interweaves many of the Hess family members' narratives. Her descriptions of the bleak rural landscape is chilling. Fans of Jim Harrison's Legends of the Fall will enjoy the plot; Willa Cather enthusiasts will relish the setting; and Theodore Dreiser readers will savor the gritty characterizations." -- Library Journal (starred review) "A lyrical, at times mysterious, and dreamy tale of family ties . . . Deftly imagined and written, Hoover's second novel offers an intriguing, modern take on a classic American landscape." -- Kirkus Reviews "Hoover's well-formed characters propel a consistently compelling tale." -- Publishers Weekly " Bottomland is more than a literary mystery. It's a trance, a poem, a lamentation, a benediction. And it's breathtaking. As in: remind yourself to breathe." -- Rebecca Makkai, author of Music for Wartime and The Hundred-Year House "Immensely readable. From small town to the grit of the city, family farm to union factories, the Midwest of Michelle Hoover's Bottomland is alive with secrets, hard choices, and the acute costs of independence." -- Daphne Kalotay, author of Russian Winter and Sight Reading "Comparisons to Dreiser and Cather are inevitable when you read Michelle Hoover's classic heartland novels because Hoover knows rural life, its unforgiving reality and its people so well; in Bottomland , she makes this landscape her own with new vivid lyricism. This post-WWI novel about an ostracized German-American family searching Iowa and Chicago for their missing teenaged girls is poignant, powerful, and hypnotically readable." -- Jenna Blum, New York Times and internationally bestselling author of Those Who Save Us and The Stormchasers "Michelle Hoover writes with a grace both fierce and tender about place, loss, and hope, about the words that go unsaid and the parts of a heart that remain unknown. A mystery, a family story, and a stark portrait of a time in American history, Bottomland moved me. It haunts me still." -- Kate Racculia, author of Bellweather Rhapsody " Bottomland is an unforgettable tale of a farm family struggling to survive, and of the fears that threaten them from both within and without. With unmistakable echoes of Cather and Dreiser, the voices of the Hess family, stark and graceful as the unforgiving Iowa prairie itself, are shot through with longing--for the past, for love, for acceptance, and, most dangerous and exhilarating of all, for change. This is a beautiful book about resilience, survival, and the tenacity of family bonds." -- Holly LeCraw, author of The Swimming Pool and The Half Brother "I love this novel. Bottomland is a work of unusual intelligence--enthralling and precise. Michelle Hoover has woven an incandescent story of a family torn apart by war and loss, and she has done so with such breathtaking insight, you can almost feel these lives rise off the page." -- Dawn Tripp, author of Game of Secrets " Bottomland is a magnificent, sweeping book, filled with the hardship of immigrant life and the poignancy of family ties. Michelle Hoover has taken up Willa Cather's mantle in chronicling the beautiful nobility of the nascent American West. The Hess family reels from grief and shame in their German heritage in the wake of World War I, suffering from the secrets it cannot tell. This book will break your heart and raise your spirit." -- Allison Amend, author of A Nearly Perfect Copy and Stations West, PRAISE FOR BOTTOMLAND "Hoover skillfully interweaves many of the Hess family members' narratives.

Synopsis
At once intimate and sweeping, Bottomland follows the Hess family in the years after World War I, as they attempt to rid themselves of the Anti-German sentiment that left a stain on their name. But when the youngest two daughters vanish in the middle of the night, the family must piece together what happened while struggling to maintain their life on the unforgiving Iowa plains. In the weeks after Esther and Myrle's disappearance, their siblings desperately search for them, through the stark farmlands to unfamiliar world of far-off Chicago. Have the girls run away to another farm? Have they gone to the city to seek a new life? Or were they abducted? Ostracized and misunderstood in their small town in the wake of the war, the Hesses fear the worst. Bottomland is a haunting story of pride, love, and betrayal, set among the rugged terrain of Iowa, the fields of war-torn Flanders, and the bustling Chicago streets. With exquisite lyricism, Michelle Hoover deftly examines the intrepid ways a person can forge a life of one's own despite the dangerous obstacles of prejudice and oppression.
