Bookclub read turned unexpectedly funny and deep

5 stars

Painterly realism in capturing quirky 80s southwest and dry surprising wit with the wide cast's conversations about family and migration, a hilarious feminist hopeful version of Grapes of Wrath.

Barbara Kingsolver is an amazingly motivating writer. She sinks you into a character's life so thoroughly that it's easy to forget who you are. You won't want to put this down.
