Prodigal Summer | Barbara Kingsolver

Set in Appalachian mountains this book perfectly combines intimate stories of people into the bigger story about nature and how fragile/sensitive eco-system is. Very nice story that makes you think about your own attitude towards nature …

Simona @Cinfhen She is sweet … mischievous, but very sweet. 2y
Simona @4thhouseontheleft Thank you 😊 Yes, me too! I liked all of the characters and I wished to know more about them … how life was turned for them. 2y
Simona @BookBabe It was, and you can feel through pages how connected with the nature Kingsolver is. 2y
Simona @Librarybelle @batsy That is bike lane near my house, but since it‘s too cold and windy for cyclers, that is now my lane for walks. 2y

A book about summer surrounded by my winter decor.🤣

This novel is a beautiful meditation on summer in the Appalachian mountains. At times I could almost smell the crisp mountain air, hear the rain in the trees & birdsong in the air. It‘s also a story about the forest, trees, wildlife, coyotes, moths, birds, life on a family farm. And love. Love in all its many forms.

This strange story follows the lives of 5 women at various stages of their lives coming to terms with a world where women have little agency and their worth is seen only in relation to men or children. While the world encounters a climate crisis, the US focuses on banning women‘s medical procedures. Dark and ominous, this book is well written with an unique format and pace. #Bookspinbingo #roll100 @PuddleJumper #Booked2022 #ecofeminist @Cinfhen

It‘s my first quiet day home alone since before Thanksgiving! 🎉🙌🏽

Although I do have some chores to do (and a 60 min work out), I‘m really looking forward to some downtime to read my #ecofeminist pick for #booked2022. Anyone have a suggestion of where this could fit for #pop22, doesn‘t seem to work for any of those prompts. 📖

Here‘s my choices for winter for #booked2022.I reserve the right t9 change my mind 27 times before then! There There is a re-read but I wanted to read it anyway as a companion piece to Ceremony, which I have just studied.

Opinions on Flight Behaviour for #ecofeminist novel? It appears on lots of eco-lit lists and the MC is female so…..?

And of course Girl With is now a #buddyread with @Cinfhen @TrishB and anyone else who may join in!

Cinfhen Definitely Flight Behavior for #EcoFeminist !!!! And hurray for all your other choices!!!! I forgot about Amy Tan!! I still have this book I wanted to read 2y

Cinfhen Hahaha @TrishB I was thinking the same thing…our BuddyRead track record is SO BAD @squirrelbrain 😅 2y
squirrelbrain I know @TrishB @Cinfhen - you‘re both terrible! 🤣 But you know I‘ll finish it regardless as I‘m a perfectionist that can‘t bail! 2y
Oryx Flight Behaviour took me a while to get into, and I considered bailing, but I ended up loving it. It's a slow read, but gets under your skin. For me, anyway. 2y
Oryx And it's definitely eco 2y
squirrelbrain Good to know Emma @Oryx - thank you! 2y
