Title: Hope springs eternal for those willing to change their names
Review: Ms. Kingsolver reels you in to a small town only to quickly throw you back into the cruel harsh world. The changing names of characters and the hidden world of the refugees exist in our world even though we cannot always recognize them. I loved the way the main character held on to her "head rights," not realistically, but to combat her own insecurity. In the end, she is strong enough to overcome her fears and finds she doesn't need to fall back on anything. Yes, it was idealistic, but it was well written and made me feel better about the people I live with in this world.
