Title: Good Book for Early Spring
Review: I read PRODIGAL SUMMER as springtime finally emerged here in Wisconsin. The trees finally had leaves, the grass was finally green, the flowers finally bloomed. Reading PRODIGAL SUMMER at this time of year made me crave nature's springtime beauty.I read Kingsolver's THE POISONWOOD BIBLE last year. I had a hard time getting into it, but I was so glad that I slugged it out for 500+ pages. I did not experience the same difficulties with PRODIGAL SUMMER. I felt immediate attachment to the characters, even to the darn coyotes. It didn't matter to me that the plot threads were not neatly resolved by the end of the book. There was no need for such finality.Great character development, good pace, excellent description of this corner of American life.
