2.Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (P.S.)Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $7.89

Customer Review:
Initially I read this book because it was written by Barbara Kingsolver. I have read her fiction and like her style of writing. I found that I really enjoyed reading this non-fiction book and felt that it was extremely helpful for people who are trying to 'live off the land' in a healthy, ecological... more info

3.[no image]The Poisonwood Bible
from Perennial / Harper-collins

Customer Review:
Barbara Kingsolver has written an exciting novel, I call a "page turner". The plot and story line are gripping. I especially enjoyed reading this book through the eyes of the children in this missionary family. In one sense it is historical because of events involving African rulers and their... more info

4.Prodigal Summer: A NovelProdigal Summer: A Novel
from Harper Perennial
Price: $6.29

Customer Review:
With almost 500 reviews already in, I won't rehash them, just add a few points. Kingsolver has been accused of being too female-centric. That is at least a partially valid claim. Each of the novel's three separate story lines consists of a smart woman proving to a man (or men) that he is wrong. Most... more info

5.[no image]The Bean Trees
from Harpercollins
Price: $8.99

Customer Review:
The Bean Trees is such a beautiful story. It is both elegant and engaging, and when I finished, I felt richer for having read it. The story itself is interesting, and the characters--most notably Taylor Greer and her de facto daughter Turtle--are round and real. The opening lines are memorable for... more info

6.[no image]Pigs in Heaven
from HarperCollins Publishers
Price: $15.00

Customer Review:
A delightful book from a delightful author.
If you haven't yet discovered Barbara Kingsolver, this book is the way to do it. Barbara is an absolute master of the English language and the use of metaphor. Her characters are developed in a way that you know them after the first meeting, and her... more info

I've heard Barbara Kingsolver speak and think she's fantastic. These essays are just as good, so clear, touching, and thoughtful. Highly recommended.

8.Animal DreamsAnimal Dreams
from Harper Perennial
Price: $3.65

Customer Review:
I'm a sucker for reading other people's favorite books of all time. When someone tells me a certain book is one of the books of their life, I get this pressing urge to run out and secure a copy. It generally doesn't matter what genre or style of book it is. I think this is mostly because I know what... more info

from Harper Perennial
Price: $4.90

Customer Review:
Every essay in Barbara Kingsolvers's collection is totally entertaining and well-written. Many can transport readers who need a dose of optimism into a very good place. Essays are normally not my favorite genre, but because of the author's choice of subject matter and manner of telling the stories,... more info

from Harpercollins
Price: $0.75

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... more info

11.The Poisonwood Bible (Oprah s Book Club) (Paperback)The Poisonwood Bible (Oprah's Book Club) (Paperback)
Price: $14.99

Customer Review:
A missionary family goes to Africa, cultural differences are misunderstood, hilarity ensues. Well, not hilarity. More like epic tragedy and sadness. I felt genuinely depressed after reading this book, but it was well-written, moved fluidly, and was enjoyable.

from Cornell University Press
Price: $15.00

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... more info

14.The Complete Fiction: The Bean Trees, Homeland, Animal Dreams, Pigs in HeavenThe Complete Fiction: The Bean Trees, Homeland, Animal Dreams, Pigs in Heaven
from Harper Perennial
Price: $58.32

Customer Review:
I found that this particular piece was overly depressing. The depth in description of a long, desolate, flat desert is far greater than the typical human brain can endure. Besides being virtually plotless this novel magnifies ethnic struggles in American society to an extreme which disgusts me... more info

from Counterpoint
Price: $10.00

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... more info

Poems are like songs. And like songs, they should be heard. Listening to Barbara Kingsolver's soothing, lilting voice recite these personal and brilliant poems in the audio version of "Another America" made a long day's drive through the desert a deep and meaningful experience.
