For Iowa they picked A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley. Id suggest that Bridges of Madison County by Robert James Waller is a much more famous book as it sold over 50 million copies, was a #1 best seller, remained on the best seller list over 3 years and has been made into a highly popular film starring Meryl Streep & Clint Eastwood as well as an upcoming Broadway Musical. A Thousand Acres is a much better book & it really captures Iowa. But its just not nearly as famous as Bridges of Madison County.
