On our Bookshelf this Month

January 2024

During the cold days of winter, what could be more delightful than to hear Barbara Kingsolver’s warm voice read her book? In Zero Waste Melrose’s monthly series, What’s on our Bookshelf this Month?, we highlight books on the subjects of zero waste and sustainability.

Barbara Kingsolver and her family journaled their yearlong experiment of obtaining all their food from local sources near their farm in Appalachia or growing it themselves on their land. Barbara is joined by her husband and daughter in this engaging book that is humorous, enlightening, and inspiring, with stories of pet chickens, secret zucchini drops, and longings for a banana. Recipes are included!
