Unsheltered
'A novel of ideas ... urgent and raw ... her skill is creating characters who think for themselves, rather than simple idea-vectors: work that is human and humane.' - Weekend Australian
Unsheltered is a testament to the strength of the human spirit. This is the novel for our troubled times.

Description
Meet Willa Knox, a woman who stands braced against a world which seems to hold little mercy for her and her family—or their old, crumbling house, falling down around them.
Willa's two grown-up children, a new-born grandchild, and her ailing father-in-law have all moved in at a time when life seems at its most precarious. But when Willa discovers that a pioneering female scientist lived on the same street in the 1800s, could this historical connection be enough to save their home from ruin?
And can Willa, despite the odds, keep her family together?
Unsheltered offers a poignant exploration of familial bonds, resilience, and the struggle to find stability amidst upheaval.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver intertwines two parallel narratives set in different centuries, both exploring themes of uncertainty and resilience. Critics praise the novel for its rich character development and intricate storytelling. However, some feel the dual timelines can be somewhat jarring. Overall, the book is lauded for its insightful commentary on societal issues and human adaptability.
