    "The work of a visionary. . . . It leaves you open-mouthed and smiling." -- Los Angeles Times "As clear as air. It is the southern novel taken west, its colors as translucent and polished as one of those slices of rose agate from a desert shop." -- New York Times Book Review "An extraordinary good novel, tough and tender and gritty and moving." -- Anne Rivers Siddons "So wry and wise we wish it would never end....The chatty, down-home audacity of Barbara Kingsolver's remarkable first novel hooks us on the first page." -- San Francisco Chronicle "The Bean Trees is the work of a visionary. . . . It leaves you open-mouthed and smiling." -- Los Angeles Times "A major new talent. From the very first page, Kingsolver's characters tug at the heart and soul." -- Ms. "An astonishing literary debut....For a deep breath of fresh air, spend some time in the neighborhood of The Bean Trees." -- Cosmopolitan "Idealistic and exhilerating, The Bean Trees is a book that combines the most careful craft with a moral code that is loving and expansive." -- Philadelphia Inquirer "This is the story of a lovable, resourceful 'instant mother,' one who speaks, acts and learns for herself, becoming an inspiration to us all." -- Glamour "This funny, inspiring book is a marvelous affirmation of risk-taking, commitment and everyday miracles...An overwhelming delight, as random and unexpected as real life." -- Publishers Weekly "A lively first novel...an easy book to enjoy." -- No Source

      Love this book and the sequel!

      I read "Pigs In Heaven" first and loved it! When I found out it was a sequel I had to read "The Bean Trees" and was not disappointed. I hated for their story to end!
