Book Review of Prodigal Summer

Prodigal Summer
Bonnie avatar reviewed on + 421 more book reviews


I love this book so much that I have the audio, and 2 copies of a First Edition hardcover, and yet I hesitated a year before posting one of them. A grand story of love and death and nature and growing old, with and definitely without, grace. My favorite sections are titled, Old Chestnuts, and are when Nannie Rawley and Garnett Walker two neighboring, aging farmers with very, very different ideas about life and growing, take center stage. I hated for this big book to end.
