| 1. |  | The Lacuna: A Novel (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Price: $9.34 Customer Review:  I really like Barbara Kingsolver--but this book was VERY tough to get through. Once I was 70% through it got much easier. I do not think I would choose to read it--if I had the chance to do it over. |

| 2. |  | The Poisonwood Bible from HarperCollins e-books Customer Review:  Barbara Kingsolver's command of languages, especially English, is stupendous. I loved looking at the sentences, the palindromes, the onomatopoeia, the way she makes a sentence sing. Four sister and a mother are taken single file to the Congo by a father and husband, Nathan, to be missionaries... |

| 3. |  | Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life from HarperCollins Price: $7.00 Customer Review:  I was excited to read this book, having just finished the Omnivore's Dilemma and Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer, both of which are very thought provoking, lucidly argued, and well written (though not without their flaws). This book by contrast was cloyingly sweet, sanctimonious, and... |

| 5. |  | Prodigal Summer: A Novel from Harper Perennial Price: $6.89 Customer Review:  Set in Eastern Kentucky (my old stomping grounds), Prodigal Summer follows the lives of three main characters as they confront heady problems like man vs. nature and progress vs. tradition, and stumble through love, death, family and self-meaning. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and appreciated the... |

| 6. |  | Pigs in Heaven from Harper Perennial Price: $3.50 Customer Review: This is one of my all time favourite novels. Barbara Kingsolver manages to create such deeply convincing characters that as a reader I really do care what happens to them. What I particularly like is that this story gets its tension not from a conflict between a heroine and a villain, but a conflict... |

| 10. |  | High Tide in Tucson: Essays from Now or Never from Harper Perennial Price: $5.53 Customer Review: I've heard Barbara Kingsolver speak and think she's fantastic. These essays are just as good, so clear, touching, and thoughtful. Highly recommended. |

| 11. |  | Homeland and Other Stories from Harper Perennial Price: $0.73 Customer Review: I am not a fan of short stories. It's not that I don't think they're not well-written, because I do think they are. It is just that they're not always so satisfying and leaves one wanting more. Not this time. I enjoyed every single one of Kingsolver's short stories. I have read a few of her... |

| 13. |  | Holding the Line: Women in the Great Arizona Mine Strike of 1983 (ILR Press books) from Cornell University Press Price: $11.50 Customer Review: If you like Kingsolver you'll like this, even though it's non-fiction. It's a great story, very well told. If you're unfamiliar with her works, you might want to start with her non-fiction (Animal Dreams, Bean Trees, Pigs in Heaven, etc.). Not because this isn't as good but to enjoy her wonderful... |

| 15. |  | The Essential Agrarian Reader: The Future of Culture, Community, and the Land from Counterpoint Price: $11.53 Customer Review: I'm only about half way through but I think it's okay. Maybe a bit self-satisified. My Dad from Massachsetts, much more conservative, hated it and found it unreadable. He particularly complained about the article on growing food on the commons; it was in Weston, MA - one of the richest towns in a... |

The main character goes through a unique set of circumstances, but her emotions are so relatable to everyone. Everyone should read this book. |

Who s idea was it to get her to read it? Should have ben a guy, with a slight S. American accent anyway. Now... |
