Unsheltered

By Barbara Kingsolver

Two characters, separated by 150 years, but share the same space, are the heroes of this book. One of them interacts with an actual historic figure, Mary Treat, and the other learns about her through her attempts to save her home. As with many of her books, there's a lot of complexities and discussion of social issues. One thing that bothered me a little was her discussion on corsets, which seemed a bit misinformed, which is very uncharacteristic of her. [462 pp.]
