Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Codi Noline returns to the sleepy mining town of Grace, Arizona, to care for her father, who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. It is a bad time for her: disappointed in her personal life, she has closed down her emotions in defense against a heart that cares too easily. "I had quietly begun to hope for nothing at all in the way of love, so as not to be disappointed," she muses. In Grace, she finds friends, allies, and a love that endures. This strong second novel confirms the promise shown in The Bean Trees (LJ 2/1/88), a deserved critical and commercial success. Kingsolver's characters are winners, especially the women, who take charge of life without fuss or complaint. Her novel compares to those of Ann Tyler in its engaging people and message that is upbeat but realistic. Kingsolver's dedication to complex social and environmental causes enriches the story line. Highly recommended. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 4/15/90.

Format:Taschenbuch
The novel is unsophisticated, vulgar and unenlightening. It follows of the journey of hapless and unappreciative twenty-something where she travels back to her hometown and tries to "find" herself. It is hackneyed material and reading about the way the main character thinks makes you cringe at the sheer perverseness of it all.

Unsophisticated, trite, and maudlin. Not a real romance and not a real enlighening read. The story line

That's the only word to describe this book. Amazingly stupid. Every word of every sentence of every chapter is garbage. Apparently since I am a male I have to live with the stereo type of not being compassionate or sensitive enough to understand 200 pages of babble.
Some friends of mine had suggested this book and I can't believe I took them seriously. This must be a cruel joke they are playing on me. The complete absence of story is alarming. It's 300 pages of assorted whining: everyone likes my sister better, I don't have a cause, I don't have anyone to sleep with, I don't fit in anywhere I go, I had a crummy child hood, the poor central Americans. BOO HOO.
This book is worse than any of the mass-produced love stories you find at airports. Please spend your money on something more worthy.

Absolute rubbish!
Bella Swan is a more realistic and relateable character than the protagonist of this book. The convoluted, pretentious prose and the pointless plot made me weep.

Detailed and touching but a bit preachy
The characters in this book are easy to like - the author makes it feel as if you really know them. The descriptions of the southwestern landscape and culture are fantastic. Lesen Sie weiter...

Vivid characters; interesting story; difficult writing style
Ms. Kinsolver's writing syle does take a bit of getting used to, but once you start making sense of the breakdown of this book, the characters drawn you in. Lesen Sie weiter...
