OK - so I've read it before. I was actually nervous to read it again. When the book first came out and I devoured it, it instantly became one of those novels that actually changed my worldview. Now, 10 years later, would it still hold up? Or would it be disappointing and one of those many things that don't stand the test of time - better left in the original memory. (Seriously - watch Less Than Zero again...I mean, really??)
A few things changed...I cried in different parts and some of the historical pieces resounded more now than when I was younger. But overall - this is the book that remains a fundamental influence on my way of thinking.
Barbara Kingsolver is amazing and one of those writers that underlines for me that some people are so truly, wonderfully gifted, we are just blessed to be recipients of their work.
P.S. - I love Adah. (+)
