Unsheltered

I consider myself a Kingsolver fan, but this is by far my least favorite of her books. It has a jumble of intentions, I think. It is anti-Trump and pro-science, which is to be expected and admired, but even more heavy-handed than usual. There are two stories here that connect loosely, one a contemporary account of a family living in a ramshackle house in New Jersey just as Trump is being elected and another family living on the same street in the late 19th Century when the Darwin controversy is still raging.
