I just started reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. My sister was the love that found it at the library and highly recommended that I read it. I can tell just from the first twenty pages that this is without a doubt the book for me. Not only does Ms. Kingsolver mirror my thoughts on the current state of our food system, this book is based on moving with her family to right here in southern Appalachia, which is, of course, exactly what I did just six months ago. She, however, moved to a farm, I did not. (I am, however, envious.)
Have any of you read it? I’d love to hear what you thought of it.
It its my favorite book, she presents a wonderful, honest view of eating local. Made me consider my choices at the table. I certainly dont pretend that I make only local choices, but she convinced me to make a lot more local choices!
Oh good. I’m excited to really get into this book. I suspect there will be many late nights spent devouring the pages since I can never carve out any time during the day to read.
I haven’t read it yet, but I love her fiction, so I’m curious about this one.
