Описание: Against a background of civil rights demonstrations, protests of the Vietnam war and the growing sense of the absurd fostered by the counter-culture, the Mikkelsons, Line, Marty and Paul, begin to find their feet. As they move into lives of their own, however, ties with their parents stretch thinner.Line studies nursing in Chicago and lives, on the weekends, with an SDS activist and organizer. Line's pregnancy leaves them uncertain about what to do in the atmosphere of escalating violence. Marty moves first to Oxford, England, and then to Berkeley, California in quest of cultural roots and a place from which she can think. Expected to become a pastor like Dad, Paul does not feel the call. He cannot talk to his parents about this problem, until he meets a young teacher from Alaska.

Описание: A town of nine square blocks, surrounded by wheat fields along a railroad line in eastern North Dakota, makes an intense and magical world for Caroline (Line), Margaret (Marty) and Paul, the three middle children of the Lutheran pastor and his wife, the Mikkelsons. The Cold War feels very far away and post-World War II optimism reigns. Nevertheless, Mother and Dad are alarmed by the inroads of popular culture upon their high-minded Scandinavian immigrant world, and Paul's young life is threatened with a bout of polio which calls up all their extended family's resources.The story is told in the successive points of view of Line, who sticks up for other kids in trouble; Marty, who wishes she were pretty instead of smart; and Paul, who revels in the natural world around him. This tale, of morality, the everyday, the recurrent, is as ancient as it is modern.

Описание: The Mikkelson kids, whose parents both went to college, are fortunate enough to be granted higher education. But no one realizes it can be dangerous, and not all of the kids want it. For Line, Marty and Paul, a crack in their cohesive world opens in the early 1960's, the exploration of which takes them further afield than anyone suspected.For Line, becoming an exchange student to a black women's college in Atlanta is the first step to understanding problems she couldn't imagine in her homogeneous world. Marty revels in art, history and literature, but someone's innocent religious question frees her intellectually. Paul's legs are misshapen following reconstructive surgeries after polio, but a canoe and a guitar help unspool his particular talents.It is said that education makes one fit company for oneself. This is true for the Mikkelsons as they try to align innate gifts with what the world needs.
