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 self-assured, solitary life. On a farm several miles down the mountain, Lusa Maluf Landowski, a bookish city girl turned farmer's 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its strong balance of narrative and drama, \u003ci\u003eProdigal Summer\u003c\/i\u003e stands alongside \u003ci\u003eDemon Copperhead, The Poisonwood Bible\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Lacuna\u003c\/i\u003e as one of Barbara Kingsolver's finest works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31253067726945,"sku":"9780571298853","price":9.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_36345486.jpg?v=1759454654","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780571298853-prodigal-summer","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
