I love Kingsolver so I'm looking forward to this book!
ReplyDeleteExcellent writing, as always with Kingsolver.
ReplyDeleteHer words always pack such a punch.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, that's powerful...and sad! I have never read her; thanks for the introduction.
ReplyDelete"...sleep of a mountain range..." -- I love that characterization, despite how sad the sentence is.
ReplyDeleteOh, Kingsolver is such a wonder writer!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read this one.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I've been disappointed with a couple of her books, her writing is always lovely.
ReplyDeleteGreat and beautiful sentence! I am not much of a Kingsolver fan, but she does craft wonderful sentences.
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Gave it 4.75/5 rating. She can get a bit preachy, but her writing is exquisite.
