Why read it?
1 author picked Forty Acres Deep as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I have been a fan of Michael Perry since his debut memoir, Population 485, so when this novel came out, I couldn’t wait to read it. To be honest, I was taken by surprise at the dark humor and tone of the book, which was a bit of a divergence from Perry’s typical style.

Michael Perry never disappoints!
