Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver contains characters who preach, but the wealth of the land she creates here comes from descriptive details and and understanding of how interrelated biological systems cooperate with one another. Each character's awareness of these processes varies with background and attitudes regarding the land. Not one but three stories enjoin here with themes whose power rests in their relationship to one another. The first story is Deanna Wolfe's affirmation of the natural world, or what is left of it. The second story contrasts Lusa Maluf Landowski's values with those of her husband's family, though a reader will find that Lusa's involvement in the community causes this story to interweave with the third. The third story also creates a bridge back to the first story, but not through Garnett Walker the retired teacher and Chestunut tree grower. This book does not preach with the thundering ambition of The Poisonwood Bible. Barbara Kingsolver's fifth novel celebrates the ability of thoughtful readers to identify simple truths and harmless fun living in small town America. It highlights the natural colors of the imagination.Vollständige Rezension lesen

I bought this book for my mother, as I have already read it three times. Truly a beautiful piece of literature by one of the best authors of this generation. A perfect read, you'll have a hard time putting it down. Be sure to check out Mrs. Kingsolver's other books as well.
Great shape. Thanks
