juliet_juliet 's review for:

Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver
5.0

This was the first "real" book I read after becoming a mother and I still have such incredibly strong feelings for it. I spent those weeks (a few pages at a time) being reassured that I was a part of something ancient and big, this whole birth and death thing called Life. I know that it affected the kind of mother I am even today.
