Couldn't make it past the second essay. The book reminds readers how much is very wrong with the world, and why would I want to read about that during my relaxation time?
Barbara Kingsolver, novelist
and naturalist, writes in
Small Wonder her thoughts
on the raising chickens,
motherhood, television,
and war. She is at her best
when she writes about what
she knows, birds and crabs,
daughters and deserts.
Amazingggg. Essays are my favorite thing to read, and Barbara Kingsolver is one of my favorite authors, and this was as good as I thought it would be. Sweet, sad, thought-provoking, and she even writes about local food and organic gardening without being annoying. WHICH IS KIND OF HARD. Hooray!
