Helpful Score: 1

Kingsolver does not disappoint in this book. Beautifully written, this book is about a young woman who has come back to her home town in the South West. I was concerned that the story lines concerning her sister and her father would be too sad (and I have a low tolerance for sad books), but they weren't. Environmental concerns are mentioned, but not overused. Gorgeous South West imagery, imaginative yet believable town, Native American themes, and a sweet love story. I loved it. More reminiscent of Bean Trees than the Poisonwood Bible for those who have read her other books.
