I know this blog post is a bit late, but figured I'd share my last thoughts of the semester. As you all know Barbara Kinsolver's, 'Letter to a Daughter at Thirteen' was my inspiration for my final project. Before I began writing the letter to my sister I wanted to find out more information on Kinsolver herself. I was a fan of her writing ever since I was introduced to her novel, 'The Bean Trees' in high school. If you have not had the chance to read it, I highly recommend! I stumbled upon Kinsolver's website which provides a list of her books, a biography, answered questions from fans and recent news on the author . After checking it out, I thought to myself, what an accomplishment this was for her! The websites lists a number of awards she has received along with excellent reviews from her most recent novels. I find this to be extremely impressive after learning about the different issues she had faced as a younger woman, though her letter to her daughter. She is a true inspiration for all women that have dealt with struggles in their life, proving to them that their past does not justify what is to come in their future. I think this is such great message. She is more of a role model for her daughters and women in general than she will ever know. Check out the website below if you have not already! Thanks for the great discussions this semester ladies!!
