Items related to All Over Creation
The Fuller family are cultivators of Fullers' Seeds in Power County, Idaho. With a lifetime of careful propagation, preservation and patient nurturing of potatoes and seeds behind them, Lloyd Fuller and his Japanese wife, Momoko, have begun to feel the ravages of time. Their only daughter, Yumi, left home twenty-five years ago, and now they must attempt to consider the future of their precious yet fragile livelihood. Meanwhile a troupe of young revolutionaries are scouring the land in their faithful Winnebego, their eccentric, volatile lives focused on restoring farming practice to its basic beginnings and curbing genetic modification once and for all. As the 'Seeds of Resistance' come crashing into Fullers' Seeds so too does Yumi return to the fold, and the lives of Lloyd and Momoko are certain never to be the same again . . .

Review:
"Ozeki is a deeply intelligent and humane writer" (Alice Sebold, author of Lovely Bones)
"One of my favourite novelists" (Junot Díaz)
"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)
"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" (Chicago Tribune)
"A well-crafted, often comic story of the personal and political" (Observer)
"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)
"Ruth Ozeki is bent on taking the novel into corners of American culture no one else has thought to look - but where she finds us in all our technological weirdness. With a combination of humour and pathos that is all her own, Ozeki brings the American pastoral forward into the age of agribusiness and genetic engineering. The result is a smart compelling novel about a world we don't realise we live in" (Michael Pollan)
"A feast for mind and heart" (Kirkus Reviews)
