I really enjoyed
this book - mostly because it has a little of everything in it. The story takes
place in a small rural farming community and deals with controversial food issues,
such as GMO's, and other gardening hot topics, such as seed saving and agri-business. This is all
surrounding an entire different story about family, friends, and lovers. The very
unique genuine characters will make you laugh, cry and smile. I love books in
which the story is told by different individuals, however Ozeki changed
point-of-view so often and included almost too many voices sometimes it took me
a paragraph or two to decipher the character telling the story. Also, I found
the ending way too predictable but I still highly recommend this book and look
forward to reading more of Ozeki soon. BEWARE: It is a great gardening/environmental
fiction story, but it also has A LOT of sex!!
I was surprised
that Ozeki didn't include a list of references or further resources for the
readers. Even though a work of fiction, I felt it was clear which side of the
fence she is on.
