Description: At age 65, retired anthropologist Stella Brentwood buys a country cottage in Somerset, England, where she intends to settle and put down roots for the first time. Until now, she has spent her life studying people but remaining an outsider, not obliged and unwilling to tie herself closely to any lover, friend, or social group. In Somerset, however, she finds an opportunity to become part of the web of relationships that make for human society. Can Stella finally make an emotional commitment to the community that beckons her? Spiderweb is a beautifully written and deeply moving novel, a brilliant vision of our modern experience.
