Book: Small Wonder
Author: Barbara Kingsolver
Pages: 288
This is my 102nd book for the year
What Amazon says:
Whether Barbara Kingsolver is contemplating the Grand Canyon, her vegetable garden, motherhood, genetic engineering, or the future of a nation founded on the best of all human impulses, her writings are grounded in the belief that our largest problems have grown from the earth's remotest corners as well as our own backyards, and that answers may lie in both those places.
This was a great little book. I am a Kingsolver fan and have read several of her books this year and last year. This one is non-fiction and full of stories that actually overlap a bit from her "Animal, Vegatable Miracle" that I read late last year (it was excellent). Kingsolver is a gifted writer. She is bright and thoughtful with just a touch of funny. She seems like someone I would love to hang out with. Her kids had a pretty amazin childhood growing up learning to live off the land during the summer - very inspiring. Check this one out.
