Bent Mountain Book Club

This month's selection is Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver. Copies will be available at the Bent Mountain Library's service desk or place the book on hold at rvl.info or through the app, RVL Mobile. Book Overview: 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. \(Copied from Amazon\)
