Freckles, by Gene Stratton Porter
Oct. 28th, 2016 05:54 pmI loved this book a lot the last time I read it. I still enjoy the good parts in it, but this time I was just rolling my eyes so hard at all the melodrama. Also I have a hard time handling the cognitive dissonance of these people who love the wild swampy forest of the Limberlost so much that they are actively working to cut it down and destroy it forever.
But the nature porn in this book is pretty readable and good as nature porn goes, and Freckles's desire for connection/affection is still compelling, and the Bird Woman is still the best.
