Barbara Kingsolver, a writer praised for her"extravagantly gifted narrative voice" ( New York Times Book Review ), has created with this novel a hymn to wildness that celebrates the prodigal spirit of human nature, and of nature itself. Prodigal Summer weaves together three stories of human love within a larger tapestry of lives inhabiting the forested mountains and struggling small farms of southern Appalachia. At the heart of these intertwined narratives is a den of coyotes that have recently migrated into the region. Deanna Wolfe, a reclusive wildlife biologist, watches the forest from her outpost in an isolated mountain cabin where she is caught off-guard by Eddie Bondo, a young hunter who comes to invade her most private spaces and confound her self-assured, solitary life. On a farm several miles down the mountain, another web of lives unfolds as Lusa Maluf Landowski, a bookish city girl turned farmer's wife, finds herself unexpectedly marooned in a strange place where she must declare or lose her attachment to the land. And a few more miles down the road, a pair of elderly, feuding neighbors tend their respective farms and wrangle about God, pesticides, and the complexities of a world neither of them expected. Over the course of one humid summer, as the urge to procreate overtakes a green and profligate countryside, these characters find connections to one another and to the flora and fauna with which 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 part of life on earth. With the richness that characterizes Barbara Kingsolver's finest work, Prodigal Summer embraces pure thematic originality and demonstrates a balance of narrative and ideas that only an accomplished novelist could render so beautifully.

《纵情夏日》在我书架上放了有三个月了,因为比较厚,我一直没有打开它。 我对于读长篇小说,有种隐隐的畏惧。因为看长篇需要更大块的时间,更充足的心理能量。更别说,有时看到尾声,发现作者提着的那一口真气突然散了,虎头蛇尾、内核空空,让人痛悔自己浪费的时间。 之前跟...
評分八月下旬已至,许多人舍不得夏天的离去,舍不得冰淇淋,舍不得T恤和短裙,舍不得无所事事的惬意暑假。好像夏天就意味着甜蜜和浪漫,激情和释放,充满了令人期待的邂逅与奇遇。 若非要为这夏日迷思找个理由,那大概是因为,春天是万物复苏的伊始,秋天是收获成果的终局,而夹在...
