Review: "Eco Fiction" new genre?

A thoroughly enjoyable work of historical fiction mixed with fabulism and what I'm thinking is a relatively new genre, "Eco-Fiction" -- while never preachy, Blue Valley manages to convey just how powerful and simultaneously fragile our Earth is and our role in effecting Earth's success or failure to sustain life.  Set against the backdrop of World War II and the never changing fear American people maintain toward anything "other", Blue Valley has contemporary resonance that is hard to miss.
