Industry Reviews
"These essays...are charming because observations of Kingsolver's incomplete self are mixed with larger observations about the real world...."
Philadelphia Inquirer - Susan Salter Reynolds (09/24/1995)
"Much of Kingsolver's writing is transparent; it flows by with as little turbulence as a clear stream. But there is nothing artless about it, and the literary mind at work becomes visible now and then in the sudden splash of a figure of speech."
Smithsonian - Paul Trachtman (06/19/1996)
"Kingsolver displays considerable nature-writing talent."
Grafton
