The characters in this book all live in decaying homes and don't earn enough money to repair their homes. I think this book reflects a grandmother's concern for the future of American children who may be the first generation in a long while to be less well off than their parents. Kingsolver was a Biologist before she was an author and this book spends a lot of time on the biology of plants. Kingsolver also explores the conflict between creationist thinking and evolutionist thinking. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this book as much as her earlier work.
