Pigs In Heaven by Barbara Kingsolver




by


Barbara Kingsolver is one of my go to authors.  I have read several of her books and have aspirations to read all she has written.  This pm, on my way to work, I finished listening to the sequel to her novel "The Bean Trees" which continues the story of Taylor and Turtle and is called "Pigs In Heaven".  Turtle is Taylor's adopted daughter whom was abandoned and left in Taylor's car three years prior to the start of the novel "Pigs In Heaven".   Turtle is also Native American.  "Pigs In Heaven" explores Cherokee history and current issues that Native American tribes deal with.  It also is an example of how opposing groups of people and can come together, discuss and compromise to reach a solution to heart wrenching conflicts.  It is an excellent novel and I highly recommend it.  Please click on the book title and authors name above to follow the links to more information and enjoy the video that follows.
