The Bean Trees
Bean_fm[i-viii]3P.£.qxd 6/8/04 2:54 PM Page i PRAISE FOR The Bean Trees “The Bean Trees is a story propelled by a marvelous ear, a fast- moving humor, and the powerful undercurrent of human struggle. There are surprises in the book. There is adventure. And there is resolution, as believable as it is gratifying.” —Margaret Randall, Women’s Review of Books “A major new talent. From the very first page, Kingsolver’s charac- ters tug at the heart and soul.” —Karen FitzGerald, Ms. “An astonishing literary debut. For a deep breath of fresh air, spend some time in the neighborhood of The Bean Trees.” —Cosmopolitan “This is the story of a lovable, resourceful ‘instant mother,’ one who speaks, acts, and learns for herself, becoming an inspiration to us all.” —Glamour “A lively first novel . an easy book to enjoy.” —The New Yorker “An extraordinarily good first novel, tough and tender and gritty and moving, with a wonderful particularity and tart Southwestern bite. Kingsolver’s heroine is little short of magnificent.” —Anne Rivers Siddons, author of Homeplace and Peachtree Road “A spirited, warm book, wry and at the same time refreshingly guileless, full of jarry insights which are very often jarringly funny. Barbara Kingsolver is obviously a writer of much talent and origi- nality.” —Ella Leffland, author of Rumors of Peace “A lovely, funny, touching, and humane debut, reminiscent of the work of Hilma Wolitzer and Francine Prose.” —Kirkus Reviews “This funny, inspiring book is a marvelous affirmation of risk-taking, commitment, and everyday miracles . an overwhelming delight, as random and unexpected as real life.” —Publishers Weekly Bean_fm[i-viii]3P.£.qxd 6/8/04 2:54 PM Page ii © 2002 by Steven L.
