Barbara Kingsolver`s fifth novel is a hymn to wildbess that celebrates the prodigal spirit of human nature, and of nature itself. It weaves together three stories of human love within a larger tapestry of lives amid the mountains and farms of southern Appalachia. Over the course of one humid summer, this novel`s intriguing protagonists face disparate predicaments but find connections to one another and to the flora and fauna with they necessarily share a place.
