ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Prodigal Summer" by Barbara Kingsolver explores themes of community, conflict, discovery, and acceptance through interconnected characters. Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, the story follows three main narratives: Deanna, a wildlife biologist studying coyotes, Lusa, a young widow navigating rural life, and Garnett, an elderly farmer feuding with his neighbor.

Deanna's passion for conservation clashes with local hunting traditions. Lusa grapples with grief and integrating into her late husband's community. Garnett's conflict with Nannie highlights differing views on agriculture. The novel delves into relationships, ecological balance, and finding meaning in a changing world, without revealing the characters' ultimate fates.
