Histria Books is pleased to announce the release of the paperback edition of The Farm by Randy O’ Brien. This compelling novel is published by Histria Fiction, an imprint of Histria Books dedicated to outstanding original works of fiction.
Set in rural Tennessee after World War II, The Farm follows the Wright family as they struggle with loss, change, and difficult choices in a country reshaped by war. When Ginger “Snaps” Wright becomes involved with an escaped German prisoner of war, the consequences ripple through her family, forcing each of them to confront grief, loyalty, and the limits of personal freedom. The novel also explores the lasting impact of wartime trauma through the story of a young widow whose husband was killed in the Malmedy Massacre.
Blending historical detail with intimate family drama, The Farm offers a thoughtful look at postwar America, touching on women’s autonomy, moral conflict, and the ties that hold families together.
Praise for The Farm:
Steven Womack, Edgar Award-winning author of Fade Up from Black says “Randy O’Brien cements his reputation as one of our finest historical novelists. The Farm is an epic story that takes a family from the brutal battlegrounds of World War II Europe to the rural fields of Tennessee, where thousands of German POWs worked on farms. Once you start The Farm, you won’t be able to put it down.”
