Ozeki’s second food-themed novel is just as rich and fulfilling as the first. The characters come together via food, specifically genetically altered food, and are a colorful palatte: Yumi, commonly called Yummy by folks who don’t know how to pronounce her name, come back after twenty-something years to say goodbye to Lloyd and Momoko Fuller, her parents, Lloyd dying of congenital heart failure and Momoko slowly fading to Alzheimers. Yummy brings her three children, all with different fathers, Phoenix, Ocean and Poo….hoping to atone for her sin which made her run away at the tender age of fourteen. Cass Quinn, nee, Yummy’s best friend, a disapproving adult who longs for her own child. Cass’s husband, Will, potato farmer and idealist, angering at his neighbors, who have signed over their farm to him, staying inside the house via a life clause. Elliot Rhode, E-Rhodes, back in Liberty Falls uneasily after as many years as Yummy, and still not getting it enough to atone for his first sins, now hasn’t the conscience enough to keep from making more. And finally, the Seeds of Resistance, a band of activists who’ve read Lloyd’s seed catalogs and have come to regard him as the Prophet, who want to live in their Winnebago on Fuller property and focus their work from the farm. Wonderfully written, this book was engaging, involved many heavy themes other than GMOs such as motherhood, the extremes some mothers will go to protect and in some cases acquire their children, abortion, life, and alcoholism. The characters were all easy to relate to, I found myself loathing myself at times and had to be like, oh, it’s a character in a book I’m getting pissed at/about/am thinking is me….And I cried in this book, the first time I’ve cried in a fiction book in YEARS. I tried not to, but couldn’t help it, the sadness, but also the beauty that is always found, which must be there, to balance the sadness.

So that was a rough start. Favorite author, second book, and it seemed a little less believeable than her first book, even though it was less far-fetched. The first time I read this book, I considered it to be a simplistic criticism of genetically engineered food, with a disappointingly stereotypical cast of characters--a fry-oil burning bus full of hippies with protest puppets make a pilgrimage to an Idaho monoculture potato farm because the owner, in his old age, has begun putting out a seed catalog of heirloom seeds, which is full of anti-GMO rhetoric born from a religious love of God's creation.

But the second time I read it, the story seemed more complex. The kids on the bus, although each is a developed character, still seem to serve a purely educational purpose. But the two other families in the book are have more interesting stories. Lloyd and Momoko Fuller are the elderly farmers who do the seed catalog...Momoko suffers from Alzheimer's and is forgetting everything except her seeds, and even the names of her carefully preserved heirloom plants are beginning to fade. Lloyd is old, has arthritis so bad that he can't manage his colostomy bag by himself, and hates that he can't take care of Momoko. Their only daughter, Yummy, ran away when she was a teenager after a bad fight with her dad, and never came back.

Yummy's best friend from school lives next door to the Fullers and has ended up taking care of them, while her husband, a boy from the same small town, works the Fuller's land. Now that it looks like the end is coming for Lloyd and Momoko, Cassie wants Yummy to come home and take care of them. So she finds Yummy (on the internet, how else) and Yummy shows up with her three kids from different fathers, unmarried, unprepared for Idaho winter after living in Hawaii for years...and at the same time, the busload of unwashed activists arrive. And who ends up tending to the colostomy bag and cooking the meals? That's right, it's not Yummy...everyone ends up eating vegan...

But can a conservative old man from a small town host a bunch of law-breaking, troublemaking kids, even though they're taking care of him and helping with the seeds? What happens when they start threatening the livelihood of the neighboring Idaho potato farmers? And who is that bastard PR man who's hanging around with Yummy? Anyway, once my expectations were lowered, I liked this book very much.

There are many elements of this book that remind me of Barbara Kingsolver, in all of the good ways. Similar to Poisonwood Bible, there are the shifting points of view that make a story that much more interesting. What I like best when an author does that was present in this story - sometimes you get to be in their heads and sometimes you just have to be satisfied with watching them go through it. The environmental bent is always a risky thing to take on. Are you going to be preaching to the choi...more

Some parts had me laughing and the end definitely had me crying.
Yummy captivated me from the first -- the daughter of a pretty straitlaced but loving potato farmer and his Japanese wife, she's a precocious 14-year-old who is having an affair with her 23-year-old teacher. At some point, something happens and Yummy --her real name is Yumi -- runs away from home in Liberty Falls, Idaho.
Fast forward 25 years. Yummy's parents aren't doing well: he has cancer and her mother has Alzheimer's. A next-door neighbor, once Yummy's best friend, is helping the couple, but planting time is coming and she and her husband have a farm to run. So she does an Internet search and finds Yumi, who decides to come home from her teaching job in Hawaii, with 3 children in tow, each of has a different dad — a gay Japanese, a white guy, and a Hawaiian. of course things don't go smoothly.
Meantime, a group of small-time eco-terrorists -The Seeds of Revolution - are moving into the area, protesting genetically-modified crops, especially potatoes. They discover a guru in Yummy's dad -- he and his wife having been saving and propagating heirloom varieties of flowers and vegetables for years, just the way God grew them. Among the activists is a 17-year-old and his 19-year-old pregnant girlfriend. Yummy's dad allows the Seeds to stay at the farm in trade for taking care of him, his wife and their seeds.
Yummy and her best friend are mending fences, sort of. The girl left behind is married, childless, and boobless-she had a mastectomy and several miscarriages. She babysits while fuming over Yummy's parenting skills. The fuming gets worse when Yummy reignites her affair with the teacher, now a PR agent for a firm representing the creators of GMO potatoes.
The tension builds slowly till the end, which rather sad and uplifting at the same time.
The fun is in how all these people come together, drift apart, and come together again. This is a commentary on agribusiness vs, organics, young vs old, but Ozeki has a pretty deft touch, it didn't feel too preachy.

“All Over Creation” is an interesting follow-up to Ozeki’s “My Year of Meats.” The political undertone of the book is very intriguing and well-researched, but at times the fictional plot of the book was a bit unconvincing. I appreciate Ozeki’s efforts to engage the reader into what is a very controversial issue, but I found her story to be ludicrous at times. However, as I neared the end of the 400+page novel, I found it extremely difficult to put down. Initially my reasons for plowing through t...more

All Over Creation

Reviewed by Philippa Jamieson

Following her bestselling novel My Year of Meat, Ruth Ozeki's second novel All Over Creation uses a similar and equally successful formula. Again, she skillfully weaves a contemporary, controversial issue into the plot – this time genetic engineering – but don't be put off; this is an enjoyable, thoughtful read, not a political tract.
Lloyd and Momoko Fuller are Idaho potato farmers, who have now sold most of their farm and developed a seed company specialising in heirloom vegetable seeds, but are getting too old to look after themselves. Enter Yumi, the prodigal daughter, whose role it is to reconcile with her parents and come to terms with the events that caused her to run away from home as a teenager.
Meanwhile, a bunch of eco-anarchists – the 'Seeds of Resistance' – are travelling the country in a campervan that runs on vegetable oil, dressing up as genetically engineered potatoes and staging demonstrations in supermarkets. They come across one of the Fullers' seed catalogues, which declares: 'Scientists do not understand Life, Itself, and when they meddle in its Creation, they trespass on God's domain. Beware of the ungodly chimera they manufacture in their laboratories!' Inspired by this message, these dreadlocked, hacky-playing hippies divert their course to visit the Fullers' farm, strike an unlikely alliance with the elderly couple, revere them for their work, and stay to help look after them and their seed collection.
Throw in a PR man for a GE seed company and a farmer trialling some of their 'Nu-Life' potatoes, a journalist, a sheriff, a private detective and a group of fundamentalist Christians, and you have a multi-layered plot with the various attitudes towards GE represented by the different characters.
It's not hard to guess what the author might believe, but as in My Year of Meat, at no stage does she get preachy. While the issue is central to the plot, it is the memorable characters who carry the story, all bestowed with merits and foibles, all increasingly drawn together in what sometimes feels like a comedy of errors. Ozeki gently pokes fun at the stereotypes, but gradually builds up a series of endearing portraits.
While maintaining a sense of fun and drama, the author also manages some profound insights into the human condition. Other major themes, related in some ways to the GE issue, are fertility (and infertility and abortion), and death. It's all about the creation and relinquishing of life.

Philippa Jamieson is travelling around New Zealand as a volunteer for Willing Workers on Organic Farms.

This book started out with a few liabilities for me... the title doesn't really draw me in as much as My Year of Meats and the subject doesn't really sound that interesting. On top of that, Ozeki's writing style is a little clunky at times -- her characterizations seem to be trying a little too hard, or come across (to me) as a little unnatural. This is especially true when she's writing in the voice of, say, a teenage boy. And the book is a little bit preachy.
