A review by katiegilley
Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver
4.0
This was a great book to listen to on audio. It's read by the author and that made it a lot of fun.
This book is set during two time periods: the 2016 primaries and the late 1800s, both in New Jersey. The storylines are tied together by the home that is falling down around them both, as well as the inhabitants' confusion about the lack of social and political progress around them.
You'll probably enjoy this book if your politics are progressive or slightly to the left of moderate. The author tries her hardest to understand how people in the US could have voted the way they did in 2016. I think she's figured it out and did an excellent job portraying it in a respectful and sympathetic way.
