I picked up this book because I had heard that if I liked Margaret Atwood (which I do), I should read Barbara Kingsolver; also because someone had said it was very uplifting. I liked it well enough; it is one of her earlier books so I'm going to read a later one and see if I like that better. It moves fast and the story is nice -- friendship and love and coming to terms with the world are just a few of the poignant themes. I recommend it for a quick, light read.
