Willa and Iano offer him a place to stay, but what he wants is to leave his son with them. Finally, their son Zeke’s partner has committed suicide, leaving him in an apartment he can’t afford with a baby son. Their daughter, Tig, has also unexpectedly returned from a year in Cuba. To make matters worse, they are the only people in the family who offered to take in Iano’s ornery dying father. But now she has found that it is falling down, with part of the old house not even on a foundation, and too expensive to fix. When he finally got hired in an inferior level for a one-year position, the inherited house nearby had seemed like a godsend. Willa’s magazine failed, and so did the college in West Virginia where Iano was tenured. Both she and her husband, Iano, have recently lost their jobs through no fault of their own. In the present time, Willa’s family has discovered that the house she inherited in Vineland is no asset. The setting is the same, though, the odd town of Vineland, New Jersey. Unusual for Barbara Kingsolver, Unsheltered is a dual time-frame novel, changing centuries every other chapter.
