a beautiful book that really makes you reflect on life, love, and the fact that despite everything, we are all just animals trying to survive.

Only Barbara Kingsolver could get me, a person terrified of moths and without a survival skill to her name, to have the urge to move into the woods and live out my days as a moth-watching wilderness keeper. Characters as loveable as ever, and a beautiful book to read during the springtime.

Would come back, writing is pretty, but not engaging so far
