In the top 10 books I've ever read
I am very well read. This is probably one of the best written, educational, though provoking books I have ever read. This book is beautiful: The writing, the story, the ethical dilemmas, the human struggles we face in a variety of situations. This book changed me from a person who was always looking ahead, wanting things (to paint my house, to get new furniture, new books, etc) into a person who is now grateful every day for what counts: Clean water, a toilet to use, food, a roof over my head. How fortunate most of us are, yet we focus on what's wrong, what we want, etc. If you are able, this book will teach you about gratitude. It is also exceptionally educational about our impact on other cultures (trying to change them) and the environment in a non-preachy way. I cannot recommend this book strongly enough. It is also a page turner, great story. This is the 7th or 8th copy of this book I've purchased over the years to give to friends. Read full review

Every sentence a treasure
Barbara Kingsolver's best book, in my opinion. I love how all her books' characters' lives are influenced by world politics, and how decisions by world leader affect us all.

Vivid story teller
The best book I have read in a very long time. When I finished the book, I started reading it all over again. Barbara Kingsolver is a great story teller. Vivid details about Africa. I felt like I knew just how the characters were feeling in their dire situation.Read full review
