I’m reading for a book club. I would likely finish even if I wasn’t because of all the hype and because I’ve loved other Kingsolver novels:The Prodigal Summer, Poisonwood Bible, Bean Trees. So far, though, I keep returning to: why do readers love this novel? Don’t people know about opioids? Hasn’t everyone read or watched Dopesick? Yes, the writing is good. She’s the queen of simile and metaphor.
