The acclaimed writer of The Poisonwood Bible returns this Fall with another epic novel. In alternating chapters, Unsheltered takes us between two different centuries. In the present timeline, Willa Knox's life is collapsing around her, and so is her home. When she begins to research her house's origins to determine if it might be eligible for a grant due to its historical status, she discovers Thatcher Greenwood and his neighbour Mary Treat, who lived on the property in the 1870s. A must read for book clubs, Unsheltered is bold and political and will leave you thinking about it long after turning the last page.
