'You have to marry outside your clan,'she said.'That's law. All the people we knew were Bird Clan. All the others were gone.'
When Gloria's great-grandmother,Green Leaf,left her home in the Hiwassee Valley of Tennessee,it was with a man on a stolen horse. She was one of the fugitive bands of Cherokee who'd resisted capture long ago. Decades later,her family takes Great Mam on a road trip home. But the place that holds the scattered bones of her ancestors is no longer the land she remembers.
Bringing together past,present and future in our ninetieth year,Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.

Barbara Kingsolver
An ecologist and biologist by training,Barbara Kingsolver shifted into fiction in 1988 and within a decade produced the masterfulThe Poisonwood Bible, a novel echoing her own year-long experience of living in the Congo. Winner of many awards,her subsequent books have often charted our own relationships with our environment,particularly the stunning Flight Behaviour of 2012,a story describing the subtle but real impact of climate change in rural Tennessee.
