Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
by
Kingsolver, Barbara,
Kingsolver, Camille
“Tracing the food year,
Kingsolver—with her characteristic candor,
poetry, and grace—brings us meditations on
asparagus, turkeys, tomatoes, and mulch as she
and her family try to eat locally as much as they
can. This is a distinct hybrid of The Omnivore’s
Dilemma, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Walden.”
—Matt Plies, Annie Bloom’s Books, Portland, OR |

Since (as you well know) there was considerable time between the publications of these seven books, many have found it not only helpful, but fun, to go back to the first book and read through them to number seven. Remember, except for the last, all are now in paperback.

"A great writer is, so to speak, a second government in his country. And for that reason no regime has ever loved great writers, only minor ones."
