Pigs in Heaven is a very moving and poetic (but not in your face, abstract, oh-I'm-so-poetic way) book. I loved it. Barbara Kingsolver is my new favourite author.
Beautiful story. I really enjoyed this novel and its predecessor "The Bean Trees."
Good book. Because it was not as long or involved as PRODIGAL SUMMER AND FLIGHT BEHAVIOR it almost seemed like a short story to me though it certainly ended on a satisfying note.
Read this when it first published. I still think of Turtle.
A great story! Barbara Kingsolver is an awesome writer, and I like her books, especially "Animal Dreams".
