It is summer in the Appalachian mountains and love, desire and attraction are in the air. Nature, too, it seems, is not immune. From her outpost in an isolated mountain cabin, Deanna Wolfe, a reclusive wildlife biologist, watches a den of coyotes that have recently migrated into the region. She is caught off guard by a young hunter who invades her most private spaces and interrupts her selfassured, solitary life. On a farm several miles down the mountain, Lusa Maluf Landowski, a bookish city girl turned farmers wife, finds herself marooned in a strange place where she must declare or lose her attachment to the land that has become her own. And a few more miles down the road, a pair of elderly feuding neighbours tend their respective farms and wrangle about God, pesticides, and the possibilities of a future neither of them expected. Over the course of one humid summer, these characters find their connections of love to one another and to the surrounding nature with which they share a place. With its strong balance of narrative and drama, Prodigal Summer stands alongside Demon Copperhead, The Poisonwood Bible and The Lacuna as one of Barbara Kingsolvers finest works. | Barbara Kingsolver Prodigal Summer : Author of Demon Copperhead, Winner of the
