Prodigal Summer

I loved this book!Barbara Kinsolver has a way of making you feel connected to every living thing on Earth.Every time I read one of her books I have a larger appreciation for the Earth as a whole.

spring is the right time to read this book

I just finished this book, and I learned so much. I am in the process of planting my garden, and will definitely do things differently because I read this book. It is a wonderful fictional read that sneaks in several valuable lessons about ecology and nature. I loved the characters and I wish they were my friends.

Prodigal Summer - very enjoyable light reading

I picked this book up at a Starbucks trading table not expecting much.

From beginning to end I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really liked the alternating chapters covering different people who were all interesting and so well developed by the author character-wise. I loved them all and especially how the author cleverly intertwined their lives at the end.

This is a book I will read again.

A Perrenial Favorite

I absolutely loved this book. Fiction is a matter of taste, I know, but I honestly wonder how anyone could dislike this book.

Every time I read it, I discover something new within it.

If you read it aloud to your spouse before going to sleep, I won't guarantee it, but I'll bet you get lucky.

In Prodigal Summer, Kingsolver shows the world how craft a beautiful sentence, not just once but a thousand times.

Finally, while I'm convinced that I live in one of the world's most beautiful places, every time I read this book, I want to move to Kentucky. How's that for evocative?

Barbara Kingsolver's fifth novel is a hymn to wildness that celebrates the prodigal spirit of human nature, and of nature itself. It weaves together three stories of human love within a larger tapestry of lives amid the mountains and farms of southern Appalachia. Over the course of one humid summer, this novel's intriguing protagonists face disparate predicaments but find connections to one another and to the flora and fauna with which they necessarily share a place.
