“The Bean Trees is the work of a visionary. . . . It leaves you open-mouthed and smiling.” — Los Angeles Times
A bestseller that has come to be regarded as an American classic, The Bean Trees is the novel that launched Barbara Kingsolver’s remarkable literary career.
It is the charming, engrossing tale of rural Kentucky native Taylor Greer, who only wants to get away from her roots and avoid getting pregnant. She succeeds, but inherits a three-year-old Native American girl named Turtle along the way, and together, from Oklahoma to Arizona, half-Cherokee Taylor and her charge search for a new life in the West. Hers is a story about love and friendship, abandonment and belonging, and the discovery of surprising resources in seemingly empty places.

Underbar roman för den som gillar Anne Tyler och Ann Patchett. Mycket bra uppläsning.

The story flows at a very slow pace like a sleepy river along the countrysides. Nothing really happening but a narration of the quiet lives of illegal immigrants, natives and other folks at the bottom layers of North America. Trigger warning of severe child abuse should have been tagged. The extremely detailed descriptions of literally everything had me frustrated at times.
