There was very little insight into the characters thoughts(even the narrator's), who did their actions out of largly unexplained reasons. There was little expression of the strong connection with Mother Earth-lacking descriptionsin of the feel, smell, and love of the earth in the hands of the farmers, the satisfaction of growing things,etc. Nothing about the daily risk of crop failure--rain,bugs, etc. that farmers I knew talked of constantly. Characters did things, but it's more like a highschool reunion highlight summary than a book. Why is this vanilla book a classic?
