I think Barbara Kingsolver is a fantastic author. This was one of those rare books where you're immensely sad when you reach the last page, because you just want to continue reading.
I love the way the author gives you a glimpse of the lives of three main characters, and slowly reveals how each character's live is interwoven with the others. This book shows the value and necessity of both preserving wilderness and of taming it. It's an easy, effortless read, but it has a lot of substance. I highly recommend!
