Barbara Kingsolver's book will be the topic of discussion along with the current food industry and how you can feel safer about what you eat and feed your family.
What do you think about procuring as much food as possible from your own backyard garden and local farms and Farmer's Markets?
What some reviewers have said:
Kirkus Reviews
"With some assistance from her husband, Steven, and 19-year-old daughter, Camille, Kingsolver elegantly chronicles a year of back-to-the-land living with her family in Appalachia...Readers frustrated with the unhealthy, artificial food chain will take heart and inspiration here."
Publishers Weekly
Starred Review."Kingsolver takes the genre to a new literary level; a well-paced narrative and the apparent ease of the beautiful prose makes the pages fly."
Booklist
"Writing with her usual sharp eye for irony, she urges readers to follow her example and reconnect with their food’s source."
A discussion guide is available at the library.
