Prodigal Summer

By Barbara Kingsolver

Another good read from a great author. This is actually 3-4 stories about one summer, told from the perspectives of three people. They all live in close proximity to each other, in a rural mountainous community, still they don't know each other or are even aware of each other's existence. At least in the first half (or even more) of the book. [464 pp.]
