Advance Reading Copy (trade paperback format. ) Her second novel, selected as one of the best books of 2003 by the San Francisco Chronicle, which said 'Ruth OzekiÕs follow-up to her first novel, ÒMy Year of Meats,Ó is a triumph that earns its inclusive title.

Sinopse
From the author of My Year of Meats—a dramatic story of a prodigal daughter's homecoming to a heartland of genetically modified cropsMy Year of Meats, Ruth Ozeki’s delicious debut novel, won a devoted following and was hailed by critics as inventing a new genre: the “eco-saga.” Now, Ozeki takes us to the heart of the potato farming industry. When Yumi Fuller returns to her hometown after a twenty-five-year absence, she comes face to face with an old friend, her aging parents, and her conflicted past—as well as the “Seeds of Resistance,” a rollicking environmentalist group that finds trouble wherever they plant themselves. With a quirky cast of characters and a keen eye for the vicissitudes of corporate life, political resistance, youth culture, aging baby boomers, and globalization, as well as the beauty of seeds, roots, and all growing things, All Over Creation offers something for just about everyone.
