Dellarobia Turnbow is a restless farm wife who gave up her own plans when she accidentally became pregnant at 17. Now, after a decade of domestic disharmony on a failing farm, she encounters a shocking sight: a silent, forested valley filled with what looks like a lake of fire. She can only understand it as a cautionary miracle, but it sparks a raft of other explanations from scientists, religious leaders, and the media.

Slow but pretty
Revisado: 07-19-19
Moves slowly. The opening chapters totally did not hook me and it took me over a year to get past them.... maybe just skip them?? The narrator totally mangled Ovid’s accent ...which is jarring. And she just talks so slowly. ...and Kingsolver herself has a few weird moments trying to describe Ovid. Delarobia herself is not always convincing. Too nice and too naive. But overall I liked the character development and the emotional evocation of climate catastrophe. It’s hard to make the issue sexy or beautiful but BK does it somehow.

Dale Maharidge’s father, like many World War II veterans, never talked about “the good war”. There was just one clue to his dad’s experience as a US Marine - a portrait with a close friend that hung permanently in their home. In The Dead Drink First, Dale, now a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, recounts his 18-year quest to find and repatriate the missing remains of his dad’s buddy, Herman Walter Mulligan, 73 years after he was killed in action.
