Zoom, Germany

Our book for September is 'Prodigal Summer' by Barbara Kingsolver.
All are welcome to join in an hour's discussion on Zoom, no matter how much of the book you have read.

Over the course of one humid summer, this novel's intriguing protagonists—a reclusive wildlife biologist, a young farmer's wife marooned far from home, and a pair of elderly, feuding neighbours—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.
