A Farm Under a Lake - Martha Bergland

[Luke]

A Farm Under a Lake, Martha Bergland, 1989, United States, NOVEL

"...While on this drive, Janet talks about her connections to Jack and to the land, putting yearnings into words for the first time, maybe because it's easier and safer with a listener who doesn't respond. Janet realizes "that I was making this trip to Illinois to learn what to say or what to do about who I was...I was trying to sort—with my skin and my eyes and my breathing and my remembering—what to keep, how far to draw a line of...what? Sisterhood? Eminent domain? Marriage? Duty? I don't yet know the terms for inside and outside."..."
