This book sparked one of the most interesting discussions our club has had in a long time. The only reason this book did not get 5 stars is because most of our club members felt that there were too many things left hanging (which made us wonder if there may be a sequel planned for this book). We all enjoyed the relationship between Nannie & Garnet the best. Since we all have known older people who had similar personalities, it was easy for our club to find the humor in both of their actions.

  "Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver" by Livres4moi (see profile) 05/24/14

I read it twice: first as written. Secondly, all of Predators, then all of Moth Love, & lastly all of Old Chestnuts in order. It was difficult to become engaged in the beginning, however stick with it because you will get hooked. I was able to follow the stories of the 3 sets of main characters & pick up clues which tied them all together so much more easily & enjoyably on the second reading.
It is brilliantly written; Kingsolver\\\'s descriptions & character development are beautiful, eloquent, engaging & memorable.

Since I am a gardner I loved this book and read it twice. It contained so much good information besides the good story.

My favorite book of all time, read it years ago and it\\\'s still at the top of my list. Great book to listen to on audio.
