A story of well developed characters, friendships and never giving up. ( ![]() 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! 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. I really enjoyed this story. I like that this book has all the fun of a great beach-read, but also has real substance. #unreadshelfproject2020. Loved this book. Loved everything about it. What a fanstastic read. Look forward to the next one.

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. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
