“Us Fools is a boisterous, irreverent, and moving novel about two sisters growing up in an America that doesn’t much care for them or their midwestern farming family. With comic tenderness and with an unforgettable, ferocious voice, Nora Lange paints a remarkable portrait of connection and alienation, of love and heartbreak, and all points in between.” —Edan Lepucki
