When Kingsolver and her family moved from arid Tuscon, Ariz., to verdant
Appalachia, they upped the ante by deciding to eat only food they grew
themselves, or which grew locally, for a full calendar year. They're not
the first to try it, but they may be the funniest. Kingsolver and her
family — who chip in on the writing — are never shrill or scoldy about
their project, just quietly convincing, and they make the food in their
agricultural epic practically vibrate with seductive organic intensity.
