krdegan 's review for:
Prodigal Summer
by Barbara Kingsolver
I believe the reason I didn't read this book until now is that I didn't like the cover. But that was a mistake. I really enjoyed all of the storylines and the portraits of people that showed both their virtues and their flaws. The science that came across in the varied expertise of characters was interesting and it shed light on their personalities. What I found most interesting, as well as convincing and admirable, was the way in which characters formed (or depended on) relationships with people whose beliefs or personalities were so different from their own. I guess that particularly resonated in this election/post-election time.
