This book articulated a concept I was well familiar with, but had no vocabulary for, and for that alone I greatly appreciated it. But it was also just an amazing book! I thought it was a very strong introduction to the concept of the gift economy, which is such a relevant topic today. I especially loved how the author related it to the natural world. I thought she did an amazing job balancing information, giving the reader lots to learn and think about but also giving anecdotes and descriptions of nature to balance it out. And of course, Robin Wall Kimmerer’s descriptions and prose in general were stunning. It made me so desperate for summer and nature and freshly picked berries. I also enjoyed the length. While I would have happily read a 400 page book about this topic, I found this length very easily digestible. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who doesn’t read a lot but still wants to learn about this topic. Of course, I would also recommend this to everyone else. I truly loved this book and everything in it so much!
