"The Bean Trees" is about the serious business of life (the true meaning of love and friendship, the definition of family and other significant issues)and yet it manages, thanks to the humane and compassionate touch of Barbara Kingsolver's "pen," to be light and lovely and funny and sweet and sad and redemptive. What's the point of being subtle: I loved this book.
