Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur
Barbara Kingsolver was born on April 8, 1955, in Annapolis, Maryland, and grew up in rural Kentucky, with formative interruptions that widened her sense of place. In 1963 her family spent time in the Republic of Congo, where her physician father worked in a remote village, an experience that later sharpened her attention to cultural difference, colonial history, and the living world. At DePauw University she entered on a piano scholarship, then shifted to biology; after graduate study in ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona, she carried both scientific training and literary ambition into adult life.
