Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
by Barbara Kingsolver
DNF. I got through more than 75% and I gave up. What Kingsolver and her family did—moving to Appalachia and living off only what they could grow, make, or buy w local products—is admirable. They don’t cheat, either. For vacation, they go on a cheese-making retreat and bring their own snacks for the road.
Kingsolver narrates most of the book, but intermittent chapters come from her husband and adult daughter. Some of the chapters describe experiences, but many are vignettes that introduce a larger issue, such as the problem w drinking bottled water.
There is nothing that compels a reader (or, at least this one) to keep moving. I felt like a subdivision brat after a while, just not able to hang.
