Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver

Recommended by Kat (they/them)

in response to Elena

Tell me about books you love that are set in, or about Appalachia, especially by authors from the region. From newer, lauded novels like Demon Copperhead to classics like The Trail of the Lonesome Pine I am open to recs old and new, fiction especially but non fiction too.

A sweet return to the land and farm story by the inimitable Kingsolver, with guest posts and recipes from her husband and children.

“Lovely, relaxing, inspiring. The year long journey of Barbara Kingsolver’s family experiment to grow their own food.”
