c8_19 's review for:
Small Wonder
by Barbara Kingsolver
challenging
emotional
reflective
medium-paced
I went into this knowing it was a collection of essays, but I didn't realize this would have such a political bent to it. Definitely thought this was going to be fluffy stories about nature. That was fine, though, and I found Kingsolver to be clear and well-written. I just wasn't expecting some of these essays to be as heavy as they were. As it is, this collection was specifically put together in the aftermath of 9/11.
It's interesting how many of the dilemmas and issues she wrote about are still incredibly relevant and problematic twenty years later. Haven't decided what that's saying to me about humanity.
