I liked "The Bean Trees" best just because there was more of Turtle's cute little personality, but this is a very good story. This one allows us to find out more about Turtle's background, but is more centered on Taylor's and her mother Alice's decisions and circumstances. A sweet story of family.

This is one of the rare occasions where the sequel outshines the first book. "Pigs in Heaven" continues Taylor & Turtle's adventures with Kingsolver's witty writing. This book kept me wanting more. Cute story!

I love the charactars, especially the child named Turtle.
Loved it and I wish it would continue.
Barbara Kingsolver is one of the best storytellers around. She crafts sentences and observations on life that have stuck in my head for over ten years since I first read this book. This story is interesting, unpredictable with quirky characters she brings you to love.
