1920. After his return from the battlefields in France Walter Langdon and his wife Rosanna begin their life together on a remote farm in Iowa. As the couple struggle to keep their family through good years and hard years - to years more desperate than they ever could have imagined - the world around their little farm will turn, and life for their children will be unrecognizable from what came before.
Some will fall in love, some will have families of their own, some will go to war and some will not survive. All will mark history in their own way. Tender, compelling and moving from the 1920s to the 1950s, told in multiple voices as rich as the Iowan soil, Some Luck is an astonishing feat of storytelling by a prize-winning author writing at the height of her powers.
