What better moment, then, to fall headlong into a passionate affair, fly off to France with her new lover, and effectively take a match to her life on the Iowa prairie? \u003cbr\u003e As she steps back to survey the damage and determine her way forward, Phillipa must contend with a wedding-day tornado, a menace of a mother-in-law who may or may not have been a Nazi collaborator, and the tragicomic revenge fantasies of her otherwise docile husband. Which is to say: the damage is not easily contained, and the path ahead is not clear. \u003cbr\u003e Thisbe Nissen offers up a fever-pitched, bitingly funny novel about a woman's quest to find her place in her own story. \u003cem\u003eOur Lady of the Prairie\u003c\/em\u003e is a bravura performance--a twister sweeping through the heart of the land and the land of the heart. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Wonderfully witty.\" -- \u003cem\u003eChicago Review of Books\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Brazen, sexy, and whip-smart.\" -- \u003cem\u003eRefinery29\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin Harcourt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47022318321904,"sku":"9781328507983","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781328507983_p0.jpg?v=1763707965","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781328507983","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
