kimmybikini 's review for:

Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver
3.0

If I'm totally honest and writing this review kind of just for myself, this was an ok 3.5 star book. I wanted to learn more about Appalachian community, and boom, this book showed up from the library. It's kind of a funny book in that there's a sex scene only 28 pages in (not recommending this to my mom after all). I think it was an attempt by Kingsolver to write a book covering somewhat entwined lives of three women at different stages of their adulthood. It felt a bit Gen Z+, but I did end up finishing it and learning a nice amount about nature in the Appalachian region of rural Kentucky.
