Heat And Light
Heat And Light
Acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Haigh returns to the Pennsylvania town at the center of her iconic novel Baker Towers in this ambitious, achingly human story of modern America and the conflicting forces at its heart-a bold, moving drama of hope and desperation, greed and power, big business and small-town families, Không chấp nhận những suy nghĩ tiêu cực.. Forty years ago, Bakerton coal fueled the country, Không chấp nhận những suy nghĩ tiêu cực.. Then the mines closed, and the town wore away like a bar of soap, Không chấp nhận những suy nghĩ tiêu cực.. Now Bakerton has been granted a surprise third act: it sits squarely atop the Marcellus Shale, a massive deposit of natural gas.To drill or not to drill? Prison guard Rich Devlin leases his mineral rights to finance his dream of farming, Không chấp nhận những suy nghĩ tiêu cực.. He doesn't count on the truck traffic and nonstop noise, his brother's skepticism or the paranoia of his wife, Shelby, who insists the water smells strange and is poisoning their frail daughter, Không chấp nhận những suy nghĩ tiêu cực.. Meanwhile his neighbors, organic dairy farmers Mack and Rena, hold out against the drilling-until a passionate environmental activist disrupts their lives.Told through a cast of characters whose lives are increasingly bound by the opposing interests that underpin the national debate, Heat and Light depicts a community blessed and cursed by its natural resources, Không chấp nhận những suy nghĩ tiêu cực.. Soaring and ambitious, it zooms from drill rig to shareholders' meeting to the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor to the ruined landscape of the "strippins," haunting reminders of Pennsylvania's past energy booms, Không chấp nhận những suy nghĩ tiêu cực.. This is a dispatch from a forgotten America-a work of searing moral clarity from one of the finest writers of her generation, a courageous and necessary book.
