I think this book contain a feminist view. Throughout the book, there is this focus on the female characters. In Predator, there is Deanna. In Moth Love, there is Lusa. In Old Chestnut, there is Nannie Rawley. Deanna lived a life of solitude until Eddie shows up. She like her contact with Eddie but was okay even when he left her. Deanna was quite content even when she became pregnant and moved away from her solitude life without a man by her side. This goes for Lusa as well. Without a husband, Lusa was happy with adopting her sister-in-law’s kids. However, this story also has emphasis on nature. There is the balance of nature and its cycle. So I think I will take on Allen point of view because I think that while there is the feminist point to the story, there are also other underlying messages of the story.
