Krátky popis
2016 VinelandMeet Willa Knox, a woman who stands braced against an
upended world that seems to hold no mercy for her shattered life
and family - or the crumbling house that contains her. 1871
VinelandThatcher Greenwood, the new science teacher, is a fervent
advocate of the work of Charles Darwin, and he is keen to
communicate his ideas to his students. But those in power in
Thatcher's small town have no desire for a new world order.Thatcher
and his teachings are not welcome. Both Willa and Thatcher resist
the prevailing logic. Both are asked to pay a high price for their
courage.But both also find inspiration -- and an unlikely kindred
spirit -- in Mary Treat, a scientist, adventurer and anachronism. A
testament to both the resilience and persistent myopia of the human
condition, Unsheltered explores the foundations we build in life,
spanning time and place to give us all a clearer look at those
around us, and perhaps ourselves. It is a novel that speaks truly
to our times.
