Happy Bookers: Unsheltered Wednesday, March 25, 7:00pm Kingsolver's novel unites social commentary with gripping storytelling. Its two intertwined narratives are set in Vineland, a New Jersey town built as a utopian community in the 1860s. In the first storyline, set in the present, the magazine Willa Knox edited and the college at which her husband taught both fold at the same time. They hope the house they have inherited in Vineland will help rebuild their finances, but with structural problems too costly to repair, it slowly collapses around them. Willa becomes fascinated by science teacher Thatcher Greenwood and his neighbor, naturalist Mary Treat, one of whom may have lived on the property in the 1870s. In the second story line, which alternates with Willa's, Thatcher's home is unsound and irreparable, too. His deepening bond with Mary inspires him, but his support for radical ideas like those of Mary's correspondent Charles Darwin infuriates Vineland's repressive leadership. (Publishers Weekly) Multiple copies of the book are available for reserve. See the Happy Bookers website for more information.
