When i first started this book, I wrote, "Kingsolver seduces the reader into the book with her lyrical and poetic writing.". If I'd only known how prophetic that was! This is a beautiful book to be read slowly and savored.
The story takes place over one summer and tells three stories of love. The language and phrasing is so beautiful that I had to stop periodically and let what I had read sink in. It literally took my breath away in so many places.
This is not a "beach read". You need time to absorb all the beauty that Kingsolver gives you.
I feel privileged to have been able to read it. I'd recommend it to anyone who really loves to read and loves language used at its best!
