Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life

Overflowing with the same illuminating insight and graceful beauty that mark her award-winning fiction, acclaimed author Barbara Kingsolver’s first foray into nonfiction details her family’s year-long quest to eat only locally produced foods. It’s an endlessly fascinating, frequently funny rumination on everything from the industrial food chain to turkey mating. Its fact- and recipe-filled pages are part memoir, part exposé, and part passionate call to restore the American kitchen and the farms that feed it to sustainable health. USA.
