Summary The Inland Island remains a powerful and relevant story about a woman, the farm she loves, and the gradual invasion of an increasingly mechanized society. Johnson received the Pulitzer Prize in 1935 for her novel Now in November."The Inland Island is a slender little green book full of marvels. Of delicate marvels, compassionate observations and -- strangest and loveliest of all -- passionate denunciations.... One hardly knows which to praise more, the precision of her reporting or the fiery splendor of her anger, the brilliance of her word-pictures of the natural world or the bitterness and sorrow in her evocation of the human world -- the American world". -- Edward Abbey in the New York Times Book Review
