A National Book Award nominee, “Some Luck” is set in 1920, Denby, Iowa. Rosanna and Walter Langdon have just welcomed their firstborn son, Frank, into their family farm. He will be the oldest of five. Each chapter covers a single year, encompassing the sweep of history as the Langdons abide by time-honored values and pass them on to their children.
