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?

Labouring the message

Barbara Kingsolver has written many good books. Perhaps the flaws came out when listening to the audible version of this one. And yes, the messages were clear and will stay with me - our fortunes turn on a dime, the generation gap, what we need to learn from millenials, and more ..... but it was all quite laboured and felt like a beating.

Excellent haunting book -

Two families linked together by a house in different centuries . Made me think about capitalism and ashamedly how we’re destroying our planet . Loved Tig !!!

A beautifully written slow story

If you like beautiful slice of life type reads, this will be up your alley. Some interesting thoughts and great characters but nothing really happens so it just sort of ambles along. Had to listen at 1.2 speed as the narration is really slow.
