This books contains a lot of bad language and has some parts that made me uncomfortable. ( ) The beginning of the novel was a bit slow for me. But it got more interesting when Taylor and Lou Ann met. I see [b:The Bean Trees|30868|The Bean Trees (Greer Family, #1)|Barbara Kingsolver|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1443483961l/30868._SY75_.jpg|1095121] as a story of community and its importance in our lives. All those people Taylor's met in Arizona, made up her little family and helped her overcome her doubts and problems. The author also raised the issue of refugees' fate, making the story tense. And it was interesting to learn more about the culture of Native Americans. Overall, I wanted to know what happens next but it wasn't a very compelling read for me.

Clear-eyed and spirited, Taylor Greer grew up poor in rural Kentucky with the goals of avoiding pregnancy and getting away. But when she heads west with high hopes and a barely functional car, she meets the human condition head-on. By the time Taylor arrives in Tucson, Arizona, she has acquired a completely unexpected child, a three-year-old American Indian girl named Turtle, and must somehow come to terms with both motherhood and the necessity for putting down roots. Hers is a story about love and friendship, abandonment and belonging, and the discovery of surprising resources in apparently empty places. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
