emscji 's review for:

Small Wonder by Barbara Kingsolver

4.0

---

7/27/2004: Collection of essays written (mostly) after Sept 11. Combination of personal and political that had me crying and wanting to underline or read aloud more than once. About democracy, the horrors of war, the bullying of Republican flag-mongerers--also a letter to her 13-year-old daughter, one to her mother, an essay on her daughter raising chickens, and on energy conservation through eating locally raised food. Great ideas and writing.
