Bean Trees
Bean Trees | Barbara Kingsolver
For those readers who have not yet fallen under the spell of Kingsolver's storytelling magic, here is her most popular and bestselling novel in its first-ever mass market edition. It is the story about love and friendship, abandonment and belonging, and the discovery of surprising resources in apparently empty places.

BK's first novel? It's safe to say she hit the ground running!
I love how she writes her characters and shows how interdependent they all are on each other.
Others of hers I've read (and loved) do tend towards the didactic: here, the surprise was humour.
Despite the horrible, horrible things that happen off the page, it's a book that restores my faith in people (which is no mean feat!) My book of the month, for sure.

squirrelbrain I‘ve read most of Kingsolver‘s books, but not this one. Sounds great! 9mo

Thanks for the tag, @The_Penniless_Author !

1. Probably The Bean Trees (tagged).
2. As usual with Kingsolver, I like how she portrays both the ugliness and the beauty of her characters side by side. They're frail and full of faults and kind and generous and strong and selfish and fallible, and all of that makes them seem real and helps me feel more like a human being myself.

I read this one because it's the first book my son is reading for his 9th-grade honors English class and the only book on the list I hadn't read. I really enjoyed it. I love Taylor and the way Kingsolver portrays her. Actually, all of the characters in this novel are excellent. Kingsolver's handling of the complex relationship we often have with "home" is always something I admire.

dabbe So cool that you read with your son. I wish more of my students' parents had done that with their kids. 💚🩷💚 1y
ImperfectCJ @dabbe We homeschooled up until this year, and I'm having trouble with the idea of totally outsourcing his education. It's an abrupt change! Plus, I want to know what stories are in his mind so we can discuss them. 1y

Enjoyed a cozy day of reading yesterday and was able to finish my first Kingsolver book. Let me tell ya, it won‘t be my last! Loved the themes of finding your own family, strong women making a life with the help of each other, & mother/daughter relationships. There was a lot going on, but at its heart, this was a very tender story. 4/5⭐️

Taylor has left her Kentucky hometown in a ‘55 VW on her way to Arizona. Her car was in bad shape before, and by the time she arrives in Arizona, it just about gives up. And she has acquired the company of a Cherokee baby. She stops at Jesus is God Tire Company and finds much more than tires. Themes: friendship, mother/child relationships, poverty, immigration, Native American life and child abuse. Powerful.#authoramonth

This was my second #AuthorAMonth pick for January. A young woman travels across the country (KY to AZ) and changes her name (Marietta to Taylor) to feel free of her small hometown. Along the way, a woman leaves a young child with her near an Indian reservation, begging Taylor to take care of the little girl, whom Taylor names Turtle. She must rely on others for help as she starts over as an unexpected mother.

DivineDiana Reading this now, and enjoying it! 🙂 3y

Not my favorite Kingsolver, but that has to be taken with a grain of salt as I feel Barb is a genius and The Bean Trees is still so very good.

This was her debut in 1989, and while it does show its age, it‘s full of gorgeous imagery, humor, and fantastic characters. Pain and hardship tempered with joy and love.

My #AuthorAMonth book for January, and I might just go ahead and read Pigs in Heaven for the heck of it.

I loved this. It's an excellent story. The #audiobook is well done. I will warn you that it's from the 1980s and there are things in this book that feel dated and inappropriate to current ears (or eyes I suppose if you're reading the traditional way). But it does sort of give a snapshot of the way people thought and talked then. And it doesn't detract from the story. Which is great.

I was thinking of skipping #AuthorAMonth this month because I worried I‘d overcommitted. But when I found this 250 page novel, I decided to squeeze it in. I‘m glad I did because this novel was a delight. A true picture of what it means to create a family, women helping women, & kindness toward your fellow man. I chose Arizona for #RoadTripUSA2022 as the majority of the book is spent there but there are also beautiful descriptions of Oklahoma.

If not for #AuthorAMonth I might not have picked this book up. I‘m really glad I did!

Taylor is off on a cross country adventure when a distressed woman suddenly gives her a child in order to save it from abuse. Her whole life changes in the instant she agrees.

Written in the late 80‘s, some language used is no longer acceptable, but if you can overlook that this is a touching look at the meaning of family and human relationships. I ❤️ 🐢 .

Soubhiville TW- sexual and physical abuse of a child (not graphic- sort of off screen), racism, use of the R word. 3y

Recommended by a friend. I have been meaning to read Barbara Kingsolver for years and it was fun to start with her first novel, a thoroughly heartwarming story about a Kentucky woman who drives to Arizona to start a new life and ends up not only adopting a Native American child but also finding a whole new family of friends, neighbors, and co-workers. I was touched by the author‘s compassion for both the Earth and humankind.🔸#marchreads2021

In a previous post I had said the characters in this book say some borderline racist things—but now, I‘d say it‘s more that they aren‘t “politically correct,” because they are so full of love. This book is about immigrants, adoption, friendship, family, loss, pain, finding a home, being brave, and, “mak[ing] things as right as we can.”

I couldn‘t put it down! It‘s only taken me 13 years to finally finish it (ha!) ...And I loved it!

The Bean Trees | Barbara Kingsolver

I‘m two chapters into this book and I‘m liking it so far. It‘s surprising reading a book that says some borderline racist things about Native American and Hispanic people—but feels fitting for the characters considering the time and setting. I find it especially interesting that this book was on my junior high summer reading list since it‘s a bit graphic. I‘ve owned it since I was 12, but never finished it. It seems more appropriate to read now.

I‘m a big Kingsolver fan, but this book (her debut) fell flat for me. I disliked the MC and felt parts of the plot were extremely unrealistic. I didn‘t pan it because I did enjoy the themes of female friendships and creating your own family.

This was my #triplespin for April. I tackled it on audio while working this bookish puzzle! The audio narration is very mediocre.(Kingsolver isn‘t the narrator, like for her later works - unfortunately!)

This is the second Barbara Kingsolver novel I‘ve read now. I was a big fan of the first one (The Poisonwood Bible), but it took me until around the halfway point in this one to really like it. The story really came together for me at that point and I started liking the main characters more by then. There were a few laugh out loud moments with some of the dialogue which is part of why I love this author. Glad I read this one! // #fiction #novel

Kingsolver addresses the struggles that indigenous people and immigrants around the world face on a daily basis. Written in 1988, this book, sadly, remains topical.

Btw, this one was not narrated by the author. I didn‘t notice that when I bought it. The narration was sub par so I‘d recommend the physical book.
