“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 really didn’t like this book. It was a thinly veiled romance novel with some weird themes. It was really into comparing humans and other animals, especially sex. It also had a lot of “divine femininity” vibes that were really atrocious. And a recurring theme of this 30 year old woman wanting romance with her 17 year old nephew. It was bizarre and hard to get through. Big disappointment after how much I liked demon copperhead.
Hot biological 'thriller'! No, not the right word, but yes it is thrilling. And thoughtful and touching and provoking and beautiful. Get me to Appalachia!
