Klappentext The final novel in the dazzling Last Hundred Years trilogy, from the winner of the Pulitzer Prize 1987. A visit from a long-lost relative brings the Langdons together again on the family farm; a place almost unrecognizable from the remote Iowan farmland Walter and Rosanna once owned. As a new era dawns, the family must face challenges unlike anything their ancestors encountered. Richie Langdon, finally out from under his twin brother's shadow, finds himself running for congress almost unintentionally and completely underprepared. Jesse's son Guthrie is set to take over the family farm but is deployed to Iraq, leaving the land in the hands of his younger sister, Felicity. She must defend it from more than just the extremes of climate change. Moving through the 1990s, to our own moment and beyond, Golden Age brings to a magnificent conclusion the century-long portrait of one unforgettable family.
