金索佛的《縱情夏日》改變了人們對鬼的觀念。鬼在大自然扮演不可思議的力量。金索佛在訪談時說：「一件事物的消失和其出現是一樣重要。」作者希望我們注意到生與死亡的息息相關。《縱情夏日》裡“看不見事物”耳語著曾被遺棄的價值觀。阿帕拉契山裡的一個小鎮提供新的生活模式和意識。“看不見事物”喚起人們的生態倫理和意識，金索佛的女主角致力於重整土地和保護其它物種。
英文摘要

In an interview Barbara Kingsolver says, ＂notice how the absence of a thing is as important as its presence.＂ The author wants us to notice that life and death are interconnected on the Earth. Invisible things in Prodigal Summer whisper to people the values that have been abandoned during centuries of industrialization and modernization. The small town in Appalachia provides new models with the consciousness of releasing the earth from the industrialized world. The dead evoke a sense of ecological ethics. Kingsolver's female characters devote themselves to the re-construction of the land and the protection of other species.
