The Bean Trees
by Barbara Kingsolver
by Barbara Kingsolver
You know when they say you'll be sad that you have to leave the characters at the end of the book, and 99% of the time it's not true?
This is not one of those times.
Kingsolver makes her protagonists become alive, you'll love them, even the ones you don't like. One of the rare books that will make you forget that you are reading. Part road trip, part American Dream, part 60s community - you'll be living in the heat of Arizona with Taylor Greer and Turtle for a precious moment and you will wish that it lasted longer.
(But don't worry, she has written other books. I haven't read them yet, but I assume that they are equally good.)
