Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver

I am just loving this book-by author of Poisonwood Bible--and I love all the attention to the natural world and how all of the plants and animals have a balance --they are all affected by the loss of any plant or any insect or animal--but i think this would be a better review

Barbara Kingslolver's fifth novel is a hymn to wildness that celebrates the prodigal spirit of human nature, and of nature itself. It weaves together three stories of human love within a larger tapestry of lives amid the mountains and farms of southern Appalachia. Over the course of one humid summer, this novel's intriguing protagonists face disparate predicaments but find connections to one another and to the flora and fauna with which they necessarily share a place."
