I read this book for my book club. It wasn't anything I would have chosen, but I did enjoy it. The description was generally beautiful and the intertwined stories were interesting.
I found some of the characters less likeable and less relatable than others.

This took me forever. Not a lot of plot. It was slow paced but beautifully written.

A perfect book to read during the pandemic. 3 lovely stories of characters and their relationships with nature and farming in Appalachia that slightly intertwine. Beautiful and relaxing read.
Beautiful novel emphasizing the important balance of nature and humans on the world.

Great book about intertwining lives in Appalachia. I didn’t love the first chapter but stuck with it. Barbara Kingsolver is just great at character development. A lot of characters in this book won me over with them and it’s very satisfying how they all grow together. I’d recommend it if you’re a fan of her writing in general or nature fiction.
