A review by aequinn
The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver

4.0

This book isn't one that necessarily gets you on the edge of your seat, but it does tackle some important social issues, like citizenship, immigration, Native Americans status in the US, child abuse, the making of friendships, and finding/defining a destiny/life purpose.
Bean Trees was well written with some fun characters. Kingsolver captured and portrayed some of the Southern and Southwestern lifestyles and language well and brought the book to life with some great descriptions of the environment.
