There's the story itself, in this case, a purely fictional story. A skilled writer doesn't merely tell a story there are several layers to a skillfully crafted novel. Her point-of-view through the eyes of a snake at the beginning and end of the book make you imagine that it is you who is witnessing the events. Her vivid imagery makes, not only the characters, but also the locale, come alive. Here is my take on it.īarbara Kingsolver, a truly gifted writer, shows considerable skill in "The Poisonwood Bible." Her skill with words makes the book easy to read. It was a best seller, receiving rave reviews by The Media, and praised by Oprah Winfrey on her TV show. One such example is “The Poisonwood Bible,” written by Barbara Kingsolver. Examples are books, written as fiction, or not really fiction but passed off as fiction, that express private opinions contradictory to positions held by the people who buy and praise these books. And it includes an amazing rhythmic poem that describes the birth of Earth’s Children and plays its own role in the narrative ofThe Shelters of Stone.I think many people, in an effort to be tolerant, accept and praise opinions that are destructive to opinions they dearly cherish.
It is a triumphant continuation of the Earth’s Children® saga that began withThe Clan of the Cave Bear. Jean Auel is at her very best in this superbly textured creation of a prehistoric society.The Shelters of Stoneis a sweeping story of love and danger, with all the wonderful detail-based on meticulous research- that makes her novels unique. Ayla has to call on all her skills, intelligence, knowledge, and instincts to find her way in this complicated society, to prepare for the birth of her child, and to decide whether she will accept new challenges and play a significant role in the destiny of the Zelandonii. Some even oppose her mating with Jondalar, and make their displeasure known. Some fear Ayla’s unfamiliar ways and abhor her relationship with those they call flatheads and she calls Clan. But as Ayla and Jondalar prepare for the formal mating at the Summer Meeting, there are difficulties. And in the woman Zelandoni, the spiritual leader of the Ninth Cave (and the one who initiated Jondalar into the Gift of Pleasure), she meets a fellow healer with whom to share her knowledge and skills. Their clothes, customs, artifacts, even their homes-formed in great cliffs of vertical limestone-are a source of wonder to her. The people of the Ninth Cave of the Zelandonii fascinate Ayla. The Shelters of Stoneopens as Ayla and Jondalar, along with their animal friends, Wolf, Whinney, and Racer, complete their epic journey across Europe and are greeted by Jondalar’s people: the Zelandonii.
