The Bean Trees
Barbara Kingsolver


I had forgotten that I had already read this book until I got to the second or third chapter. But, it has been a while, so it feels like reading it for the first time. I love Kingsolver's use of language. If you are comparing this book to Kingsolver's "Poinsonwood Bible" then you will be a bit disappointed. But it is a strong work in it's own right.
