Red Sorghum

The story of three generations--simultaneously "most heroic and most bastardly''- -caught up in these turbulent years. Set in a region where the sorghum is grown, the tale's as much a family history as the story of a particular time and place--a place where the red sorghum, which "forms a glittering sea of blood and is the traditional spirit of the region, '' is also a metaphor for change and loss.
