One of the best books of all time! An absolute 5-star rated, must read book!!!!It has been a couple years since I've read this book but it stays with me, one of those books that really leaves an impression and I fully intend to read it again. I'm surprised there wasn't more hype surrounding this nov...

What a sadly depressing, but poignant tale...The last half of the book was absolutely unnecessary and could have been condensed into a few chapters. But the first half is eerily poetic in many, many ways...

text The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver

There is something about Barbara Kingsolver's work that just appeals to my reading sensibilities. Her novels always just feel like they are right in my reading groove. I seem to be reading her backwards - starting with her more recent work, and making my way back to this, her first novel. It's inter...

I made 52 notes while reading this book. FIFTY TWO NOTES. That's how interesting it is.

Co łączy Barbarę Kingsolver i Stephena Kinga? Oboje są pisarzami oraz członkami zespołu Rock Bottom Remainders.

Either 200 pages too long or 400 pages too short, depending on how much the reader feels the "after Africa" plot elements add or detract from the overall experience. I admire the author's work here, particularly after reading her earlier wor...

http://thefaultinourblogs.blogspot.comWell, Kingsolver's writing style stretched this one out to two weeks for me to get through. That's not a bad thing, I'm kind of glad I took my time to get through it because Kingsolver is such an adept writer. Her rich, dense, nuanced, prose is a feat of nature ...

Już na samym początku autorka obrzydziła mi główną bohaterkę. Później czułam się jakbym tonęła w nudnym podręczniku i słowo po słowie próbowałam przebić się przez treść. Czekałam na jakiś ciekawy zwrot akcji, ale nie doczekałam się. Powieść raczej na jesienne wieczory, bo zwyczajnie nic się tam nie ...
