Another good book from one of my favorite authors, Barbara Kingsolver. Here an unhappy, unrecognized mother and farm wife is about to 'ruin' her life with an affair when she stumbles across an aberrant roost of monarch butterflies in the fir trees on her in-law's property. From then on the story is really all about the monarchs. Sure the family developments and human drama is compelling but the butterflies steal the show. And you don't have to be a scientist to enjoy this one.
