"A lush, bountiful, opinionated novel of social conscience" -- Washington Post Book World "As illuminating as it is absorbing. . . . Resonates with the author's overarching wisdom and passion." -- New York Times "Full of ... tenderness, humour and earthy spirituality." -- Christian Science Monitor "[Kingsolver's] sexy, lyrical fifth novel renders our solitary yearnings with a finely trained eye and ear." -- People "A blend of breathtaking artistry, encyclopedic knowledge of the natural world. . . and ardent commitment to the supremacy of nature. . . . .Barbara Kingsolver remains a voice readers have come to respect and love, a writer we will keep reading for as long as she continues to grace us with her bounty." -- San Francisco Chronicle "A triumphant return to the southern Appalachians of her own childhood." -- Orlando Sentinel "A warm, intricately constructed book shot through with an extraordinary amount of insight and information about the wonders of the invisible world." -- Newsweek "Ms. Kingsolver's writing is generously well-grafted; choice moments ... radiate from nearly every page." -- Wall Street Journal "As lush, rich and abundant as nature itself ... Prodigal Summer is quietly breathtaking, and its vista awe-inspiring." -- Buffalo News "Kingsolver deftly addresses the struggle between mankind and nature . . . .

Synopsis
Barbara Kingsolver, a writer praised for her"extravagantly gifted narrative voice" ( New York Times Book Review ), has created with this novel a hymn to wildness that celebrates the prodigal spirit of human nature, and of nature itself. Prodigal Summer weaves together three stories of human love within a larger tapestry of lives inhabiting the forested mountains and struggling small farms of southern Appalachia. At the heart of these intertwined narratives is a den of coyotes that have recently migrated into the region. Deanna Wolfe, a reclusive wildlife biologist, watches the forest from her outpost in an isolated mountain cabin where she is caught off-guard by Eddie Bondo, a young hunter who comes to invade her most private spaces and confound her self-assured, solitary life. On a farm several miles down the mountain, another web of lives unfolds as Lusa Maluf Landowski, a bookish city girl turned farmer's wife, finds herself unexpectedly marooned in a strange place where she must declare or lose her attachment to the land. And a few more miles down the road, a pair of elderly, feuding neighbors tend their respective farms and wrangle about God, pesticides, and the complexities of a world neither of them expected. Over the course of one humid summer, as the urge to procreate overtakes a green and profligate countryside, these characters find connections to one another and to the flora and fauna with which they necessarily share a place. Their discoveries are embedded inside countless intimate lessons of biology, the realities of small farming, and the final, urgent truth that humans are only one part of life on earth. With the richness that characterizes Barbara Kingsolver's finest work, Prodigal Summer embraces pure thematic originality and demonstrates a balance of narrative and ideas that only an accomplished novelist could render so beautifully., National Bestseller "A blend of breathtaking artistry, encyclopedic knowledge of the natural world. . . and ardent commitment to the supremacy of nature." -- San Francisco Chronicle In this beautiful novel, Barbara Kingsolver, acclaimed author of The Poisonwood Bible and the Pulitzer-Prize winning Demon Copperhead, and recipient of the National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguish Contribution to American Letters, weaves together three stories of human love within a larger tapestry of lives inhabiting the forested mountains and struggling small farms of southern Appalachia. Over the course of one humid summer, as the urge to procreate overtakes the lush countryside, this novel's intriguing protagonists--a reclusive wildlife biologist, a young farmer's wife marooned far from home, and a pair of elderly, feuding neighbors--face disparate predicaments but find connections to one another and to the flora and fauna with whom they necessarily share a place. Their discoveries are embedded inside countless intimate lessons of biology, the realities of small farming, and the final, urgent truth that humans are only one piece of life on earth. Prodigal Summer is a hymn to wildness that celebrates the prodigal spirit of human nature, and of nature itself.

    Prompt replies from the seller. Was expecting shipping to take at least a week but it was delivered in 3 days. The books were packaged well. They are in great condition, exactly as described and pictured. Some were in better condition than expected, practically brand new. Compared to buying them separately, or buying other sets that I've seen, this was a great value for the lot. Very satisfied with this purchase!

    I was very impressed with the super fast shipping by this seller, and the used book was exactly as described, and represented great value and was in good condition, and very well packaged. I appreciated that they carefully wrapped the book in bubble wrap and sent it in a box whereas other sellers use much flimsier packaging for used books.
