She has been one of my favorite authors since I read Poisonwood Bible many, many years ago. I also enjoyed Animal Dreams and Bean Trees. In this book, according to her own description, she uses the stories of people to discuss an issue no one wants to talk about: climate change.
Kingsolver said she loves first sentences. I have to agree with her - the first sentence can make or break a book. And how can you not love all the possibility contained in a first sentence?
It will take me a while to get through this book as I keep up with the fall schedule, but I'm excited for this read. Have you read any good books lately?
Kingsolver is one of my favorites,too. I really enjoyed her "Lacuna" because I'm also a big fan of Frida Kahlo. "Flight Behavior" will be next on my list after I finish "On a Farther Shore: The Life and Legacy of Rachel Carson" by William Souder.
