Great book

This was my favorite of Kingsolver's novels, and one of my favorite books I've read in the last few years. The book is full of interesting characters, including real historical figures, and has a great story. I highly recommend it.

Slow to start, great book

I love Barbara Kingsolver's work, but I still had a hard time getting into this rich and complex story. It winds a little more than I prefer, but the ending is a spectacular reward for your patience!
