Welcome to Foxcroft AP English Strange As This Weather Has Been

Welcome to a conversation about the novel Strange As This Weather Has Been by Ann Pancake. This is a contemporary novel about a family, a place, and something which threatens to destroy everything that they have ever had. It is a novel about nature, about environmental ethics, but mostly, a novel about people trying to learn what their life is about and what values that they hold the dearest and what things matter most to them. It is about love and choices and amazing discoveries. It is about the conflicts in families, the differences in siblings and often tenuous relationship between nature and human beings. The quality of our understanding of this book and what it holds for us, the reader, will depend on our ability to help each other see it from the varied perspectives that our wide experiences provide. We will be scattered all over the world, yet this discussion will unite us and bring us back together about ideas and human longings and what makes life, in the end, worth living.
