About this product

Product Information

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, New York Times bestselling author of Demon Copperhead and The Poisonwood Bible, 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.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    Prodigal Summer

    I chose to buy this book because it was highly recommended by a friend. I had already read Poisonwood Bible by the same author and was not thrilled. My friend insisted that I would enjoy Prodigal Summer and did I ever! In addition to plot and setting in a novel, I am always attracted to a book by the author's style of writing. Prodical Summer is 3 mini stories woven beautifully into one perfect conclusion. I loved each individual mini story as well as the character development of the main characters in each story. Barbara Kingsolver did an outstanding job of weaving a very creative web. I was sorry to come to the end of the book.

    Prodigal Summer

    I didn't like anything as I never received the book. I sent an email to the distributor and never got a reply. I put in a claim to e-bay and never got a reply. I have subsequently reordered the book through Amazon.com and it is being sent. I was very disappointed in e-bay's lack of response. It wasn't a fortune that I spent but it was a read for my book club and now I find myself behind in my reading for that. I probably won't use e-bay again although I have purchased many books through them in the past and have purchased for my whole book club which is 15 members. Sharon Stiles

    Different type of story with ecological intelectuality.

    This was an enjoyable book. I had no idea at first where it was going. Each character had character! The information about nature and it's many facets was fascinating and informative. A great feeling when the book was finished...one of hope for our world!

    PRODIGAL SUMMER

    You can't lose reading any Barbara Kingsolver! This book gives her unique feelings and knowledge of nature, the Appalacian landscape, and basic human interaction involving love of one another and of animals we share the land with.

    Got this as a book club selection. It started out a bit slow - it's very descriptive, but soon I was hooked on the story. If you are a fan of nature and romance, you won't be disappointed!
