Another really wonderful read by Barbara Kingsolver! The way she weaves people's lives together and shows connections to the world around us is beautiful and inspiring!
Strong, independent, figuring it out, badass nature ladies.

This is a really beautifully written book, I think a nature girl would appreciate that aspect even more than I did. The 3 storylines tie up nicely. It is funny reading a Barbara Kingsolver novel, she loves to set up two characters to just debate a topic that interests her - as usual that is scattered in here.

“People in Appalachia insisted that the mountains breathed, and it was true…”
Prodigal Summer es una carta de amor de la autora hacia su tierra, los apalaches. utilizando a tres personajes diferentes, pero muy cercanos -a veces sin que estos lo sepan-, logra retratar las distintas aristas de la vida de los nativos de este área, y más específicamente de su amor y conocimiento extensivo por la naturaleza. desde polillas, coyotes y tipos de árboles, leer la dedicación que cada uno vierte en sus respectivos intereses es hermoso. el amor es un tema recurrente en el libro, y como ya dije, es tratado distinto por cada uno de los personajes.
es un libro denso, y no es tan solo ficción sobre la vida de Deanna, Lusa o Mr Garnett, por momentos es como haber sintonizado nat geo. por lo menos a mi esto me parece fascinante.
retomando la densidad del libro, me llevó bastante terminarlo por esta razón. siento que es un libro el cual no podes saltarte un solo renglón por, y repito, el amor y la atención que Barbara Kingsolver dió. si tengo algo para criticar es el final, me hubiese gustado algo un poco más “cerrado” o resuelto, poder entrever que es lo que termina pasando en el futuro.
I liked it enough that I'll ask my husband to read it.
