I chose to buy this book because it was highly recommended by a friend. I had already read Poisonwood Bible by the same author and was not thrilled. My friend insisted that I would enjoy Prodigal Summer and did I ever! In addition to plot and setting in a novel, I am always attracted to a book by the author's style of writing. Prodical Summer is 3 mini stories woven beautifully into one perfect conclusion. I loved each individual mini story as well as the character development of the main characters in each story. Barbara Kingsolver did an outstanding job of weaving a very creative web. I was sorry to come to the end of the book.
I didn't like anything as I never received the book. I sent an email to the distributor and never got a reply. I put in a claim to e-bay and never got a reply. I have subsequently reordered the book through Amazon.com and it is being sent. I was very disappointed in e-bay's lack of response. It wasn't a fortune that I spent but it was a read for my book club and now I find myself behind in my reading for that. I probably won't use e-bay again although I have purchased many books through them in the past and have purchased for my whole book club which is 15 members. Sharon Stiles
This was an enjoyable book. I had no idea at first where it was going. Each character had character! The information about nature and it's many facets was fascinating and informative. A great feeling when the book was finished...one of hope for our world!
You can't lose reading any Barbara Kingsolver! This book gives her unique feelings and knowledge of nature, the Appalacian landscape, and basic human interaction involving love of one another and of animals we share the land with.
Got this as a book club selection. It started out a bit slow - it's very descriptive, but soon I was hooked on the story. If you are a fan of nature and romance, you won't be disappointed!
