A classic novel of family life and love on a 1940s-era Montana farm by Mildred Walker. The University of Nebraska press has returned Walker's many much-loved books to print, most originally published in the 1950s and 1960s. Winter Wheat, Walker's best known tale, is memorably set against the backdrop of the landscape, vagaries of weather and routines of life on a farm in central Montana. It's the story of 18-year-old Ellen Webb, her family, friends, and loves. 1
Winter Wheat is a classic novel of the American West,” James Welch says in his introduction to the novel. “That doesn’t mean it is an old-fashioned novel. It could have been written last year, or next year—bit it was written during the period it portrays, giving it an immediacy that is timeless. The descriptions of the country, the passages concerning the vagaries of wheat farming, going to town, listening to the war news and grain report on the radio, the pleasure of buying silk stockings and a new coat, are remarkably current.” 2
