The bean Tree takes you on an emotional yet humorous journey from Tennessee to Tucson Arizona. (Which is where I live so it was a fun read) A young woman who changes her birth name to Taylor, and her travel companion, Turtle, a toddler who was literally dropped off for her to take care of, share an intimate and heartwarming adventure. Kingsolver's writing is addictive and witty, yet she captures such a vivid picture of deep emotion and those moments in time that stand still. Highly recommend read! (  ) tippygirl | Jan 8, 2021 |  I enjoyed this book, it was an old Kingsolver for me. You can tell that this is one of her first - the characters are not as fleshed out as they are in her particularly brilliant more recent novels. (  ) FurbyKirby | Jan 5, 2021 | I really enjoyed this story. I like that this book has all the fun of a great beach-read, but also has real substance. ( ) klnbennett | Oct 7, 2020 | #unreadshelfproject2020. Loved this book. Loved everything about it. What a fanstastic read. Look forward to the next one. ( )1  bnbookgirl | Jul 14, 2020 | I loved this story and especially loved the main character. What a character! might be the best way to describe her. She is love and truth and forthrightness all rolled into one unforgettable lady. Kingsolver is truly gifted. A great read about compassion, immigration, and the stark reality of a child's vulnerability. ( ) MMKY | Jul 3, 2020 |

Clear-eyed and spirited, Taylor Greer grew up poor in rural Kentucky with the goals of avoiding pregnancy and getting away. But when she heads west with high hopes and a barely functional car, she meets the human condition head-on. By the time Taylor arrives in Tucson, Arizona, she has acquired a completely unexpected child, a three-year-old American Indian girl named Turtle, and must somehow come to terms with both motherhood and the necessity for putting down roots. Hers is a story about love and friendship, abandonment and belonging, and the discovery of surprising resources in apparently empty places. No library descriptions found. |
