Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver
Details
Fiction. Rather than looking to a dystopian near-future to address environmental concerns, as so many fiction writers have, Kingsolver knits them right into the familiar lives of her ensnaring characters. In this exceptionally involving and rewarding novel, Kingsolver considers how our ways of living are threatened by the changing climate and our ever-increasing pressure on the biosphere, conducting a subtle, many-stranded inquiry into the concept of shelter within two story lines in two time frames, both anchored in Vineland, New Jersey.
