Title: Forget the ending: read it for the joy of the journey!
Review: Don't read this book to find out how it ends. Read it for the pure enjoyment of reading. One thing I love about Barbara Kingsolver's books is that I can relate to her main characters' solitude of mind and intellect. Love blossoms from loneliness. Hope blossoms from striving day to day. You'll find yourself yearning for the love interests of the two main characters as if they were your own. The book has a certain harmony to it much like the harmony of life: things are often left unresolved, people cope in the face of unexpected change, and nature continues oblivious to what's going on in my own little piece of life. When I finished reading this book last year, I was disgusted with the ending. But, a year later, I look back and realize that the book could have ended no other way.
