Summary

A compelling and compassionate novel about environmental activism, community and starting over, from the Booker-shortlisted author

All Over Creation Summary

All Over Creation by Ruth Ozeki

Twenty-five years after running away from her family's farm in Idaho, Yumi Fuller returns home to care for her ailing parents and to confront her best friend and her conflicted past. She finds a world changed beyond recognition; and with the arrival of a group of young anti-GM activists, she finds herself caught up in a new revolution.

All Over Creation is an exploration of the dichotomies of love and responsibility and a celebration of the capacity for renewal that resides within us all.

All Over Creation Reviews

Ozeki shows more courage than most in melding a well-crafted, often comic story of the personal with the political * * Observer * *
Sophisticated . . . Seamlessly done . . . A nice blend of humour and strangely affecting optimism. Ozeki has written a book where dread and hope coexist. Neither is given short shrift or magicked away * * New York Times * *
Highly original * * Daily Mail * *
Amusing, moving and delicately controlled * * Big Issue * *
All Over Creation opens wider with every plot twist as it moves from tenderness to comedy to sobering truth and the world in the eye of one family's storm -- BARBARA KINGSOLVER
This winning novel . . . is a feast of humour and wisdom about family and friendship * * Glamour * *
Ozeki is a gifted storyteller. All Over Creation buzzes and blooms with the cross-pollination of races and subcultures, death and birth, betrayal and reconciliation, comedy and tragedy * * Los Angeles Times * *
Ozeki deftly and sensitively folds the variegated topics together, whipping up a savoury treat * * Entertainment Weekly * *
Captivating . . . Ozeki joins the constellation of such environmentally aware writers as Barbara Kingsolver, Annie Proulx and Margaret Atwood, bringing her own shrewd and playful humour, luscious sexiness and kinetic pizazz . . . A busy, darkly humorous and cunningly entertaining novel, weaving canny psychological insights into each twist in her purposeful yet anarchically tinged plot * * Chicago Trubune * *
Bewitching . . . Ozeki's story splices a bit of Edward Abbey into an Anne Tyler plot. The fruits of this mix are definitely worth tasting * * Publishers Weekly (starred review) * *
