From Library Journal
This debut novel follows the gritty, outspoken Taylor Greer, who leaves her native Kentucky to head west. She becomes mother to an abandoned baby and, when her jalopy dies in Tucson, is forced to work in a tire garage and to room with a young, battered divorcee who also has a little girl. With sisterly counsel and personal honesty, the two face their painful lot (told in ponderous detail). The blue-collar setting, described vibrantly, often turns violent, with baby beatings, street brawls, and drug busts. Despite the hurt and rage, themes of love and nurturing emerge. A refreshingly upbeat, presentable first effort by an author whose subsequent novels will probably generate more interest than this one. Edward C.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The book started off a bit vague, lacking something necessary to hold my attention. Once past the second chapter the characters lives picked up and the plot became more interesting, the chapters had a tendency to skip between two characters toward the begining, this left me confused where these characters would later coralate in the book when finally as the climax came their paths crossed, and I found the book to be quite enjoyable.
Format:Taschenbuch
Barbara Kinsolver has written a very touching story about family, friendship, love and strength. Almost all the characters are women and it is wonderful to see how they all grow in their own ways! Turtle is so precious and fragile, you want to pick her up and hug her! I love this book, it is a story that can make you believe in the goodness of people.

I read the bean trees about a year and a half ago, but the novel is still freah in my mind i don't think i could ever forget Taylor Greer. Or anyone else from this novel. I loved it, it ranks right up there with aminal dreams and the poison wood bible... But i reccomend that you read this before any of those, you will cry, and laugh. It is remarkable the amount of sheer emothion that was put into this novel. So read it. I am Frrrr
