“Allegra Hyde writes with a genius scientist’s impassioned inquiry, and a poet’s lyrical, exquisite precision.”
—Tara Ison, author of Ball: Stories
In The Future Consequences of Present Actions, we meet Charles Lane, an 18th-century Transcendentalist who founded the Fruitlands commune along with Amos Bronson Alcott, the father of Louisa May. The commune fails, and the disenchanted Lane moves with his son to a Shaker village.
In his eagerness to find “heaven on earth” within the Shaker community, Lane inadvertently enlists his son into indentured servitude and learns the true cost of his utopian search.
