nilchance 's review for:
Small Wonder
by Barbara Kingsolver
Kingsolver's essays range from preachy to amazing, with not quite enough amazing. I agree with her politically but I struggled with the first large section of the book where she talked about food, homelessness and ecology, with no real mention that lifestyles like the ones she's advocating are dependent on class, location and physical ability.
And then the book segues into beautiful essays about her mother and her daughters.
Kingsolver states that as an editor she gives stories 25 pages to reach her before she sets them aside. This book wouldn't pass that test.
