ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Unsheltered” by Barbara Kingsolver follows two parallel storylines, one set in the 19th century and the other in the modern day. Willa Knox, struggling with financial ruin and an unstable family life, inherits a deteriorating house in Vineland, New Jersey. Her story intertwines with that of Thatcher Greenwood, a science teacher in the 1800s, who faces opposition for supporting Darwin’s theories. Through themes of resilience, intellectual freedom, and societal resistance to change, Kingsolver explores the personal and emotional costs of progress, family dynamics, and the search for stability in times of crisis.
