No More Giants

No More Giants continues the mission of Recovered Books series to rescue exceptional books long unavailable to today’s readers.

A powerful account of a young woman growing up on a ranch in rural Nevada in the midst of family troubles and a dry, unforgiving landscape. As vivid a picture of the challenges facing young women in 1950s America as Sylvia Plath's classic The Bell Jar.

A gripping story of a young woman growing up in the harsh setting of a Nevada ranch in the 1940s. No More Giants combines a deep love for the land with a bracingly honest view of family conflicts and the loss of dreams. Jenny struggles to survive and escape from the frustrations and hatred of her parents. Ignored when first published, No More Giants is now recognized as a classic work about women in the American West.
