Reader Review: Animal Dreams

Animal Dreams book coverThe book “Animal Dreams” is set amidst the backdrop of Hispanic and Native American culture, traditions, and way of life. The story involves a woman desperate to move forward and forget who is faced with putting the pieces back together of her puzzled past.

I love author Barbara Kingsolver’s aptitude for capturing the human experience so achingly and accurately whilst setting her characters against something much larger and more powerful than themselves — the sweeping expanse of the natural world. The way she writes of humanity’s vulnerability is somehow magnified when compared to the wisdom of the ancient earth.

Three words that describe this book: Bittersweet, realistic, powerful

You might want to pick this book up if: You have an affinity for beautiful descriptions of nature.
