Willa, named for author Cather, is a journalist and editor whose magazine was recently shuttered, and her son-of-Greek-immigrants husband Iano had a nice tenure track position in Virginia until his school closed he's now back to adjuncting for little pay. Unsheltered opens with a slew of disappointments: There's the ho-hum tragedy of middle-class life in our contemporary U.S. It is incredibly relevant, painfully familiar, gorgeously written - plus, there's a mother-daughter relationship at its center that so perfectly encapsulates a particular middle class, largely white generational divide that it could be used as a teaching tool for Baby Boomer parents and their Millennial children across the nation. I finally found those elusive moments recently and dug into Kingsolver's newest novel, Unsheltered. How?įor years now, my mother has been a fan of Barbara Kingsolver's work, urging me to read it when I had time. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
