Three intertwined Appalachian stories explore desire, loss, and the fierce bonds between humans and the natural world.
This lush tale interweaves the narratives of three women in southern Appalachia, where the reproductive urge rages through the verdant natural world, but where science and economics play their prominent roles, also. Barbara Kingsolver shows her highest powers in this impressive and vibrant piece. Her technical expertise teaches us a great deal about wildlife management and agricultual economics, but so much more about the indomitable human spirit.
