Review

"So wry and wise we wish it would never end....The chatty, down-home audacity of Barbara Kingsolver's remarkable first novel hooks us on the first page."

"An extraordinarily good first novel, tough and tender and gritty and moving, with a wonderful particularity and taut Southwestern bite. Kingsolver's heroine is little short of magnificent."

"'The Bean Trees' is a story propelled by a marvellous ear, a fast-moving humor and the powerful undercurrent of human struggle....There are surprises in the book. There is adventure. and there is resolution, as believable as it is gratifying...."

First line

I have been afraid of putting air in a tire ever since I saw a tractor tie blow up and throw Newt Hardbine's father over the top of the Standard oil sign.

Annotation

Taylor Greer, from rural Kentucky, buys a 1955 Volkswagen and drives west. Along the way, she picks up an abandoned 3-year-old Native American girl named Turtle, and by the time she pulls up at the Jesus Is Lord Used Tire Auto Repair Shop, Taylor is well on her way towards establishing an adventurous new life in the desert land of the Southwest.
