prodigal summer

“This is how moths speak to each other. They tell their love across the fields by scent. There is no mouth, the wrong words are impossible, either a mate is there or he is not, and if so the pair will find each other in the dark.”
-Barbara Kingsolver, Prodigal Summer


Barbara Kingsolver is one of my favorite authors of all time.  In Prodigal Summer she brings the reader alive by opening their eyes to the intricate, beautiful and sensual world of nature which the characters, and all of us, are embedded within.  One of my most fun and purposeful reads yet...
