Unabridged Audiobook
I like the message behind the book but it was so slow. I almost stopped listening on a few occasions. Narrator has more of a monotone voice that doesn’t lend much excitement to the characters. I know many people have recommended the book but i do not see why
Barbara Kingsolver is a wonderful author and so many pieces of this book ring very true to life in rural America. I was disappointed the ending suggested a single mother could support herself and her family doing university research.
Excellent. A great learning experience about monarch butterflies, climate change, scientific analysis, All woven and gently to a story about self growth, love, family
Thank you for this book Barbara! I laughed and cried, found insights that led me to consider some of my own ideas and decisions. Fascinating facts and entertainment throughout!
I liked this book. found the butterflies interesting.
I admire Barbara Kingsolver - she is able of touching the most sensitive topics - poverty, lack of education, climate change, the human damage to nature - and do it all with such a personal wonderful story. She did the same with other topics in the Posionwood Bible, and since then I decided to read as many of her books that I can find. I fell in love with Dellarobia, found a lot of interest in the Monarch butterflies (all information is correct and it is worth visiting a site where you can see them), reminded myself of the magic of science, investigation and look at things from a different point of view. Kingsolver is an artist in telling stories from the eyes of the main character, and a bigger artist in making the reader think.
