Title: I loved the flawed characters
Review: When you look over Kingolver's pedigree and education you might expect her characters to be stuffy intellectuals. Although her books are full of meat, her characters are never full of bologna. Taylor shines with courage and resolve. Kingsolver's rendering of the setting in Arizona has sparked an interest in me. The intelligence and thoughtfulness of this blue collar woman is refreshing to American women's novels. As part Cherokee indian myself, I found her use of the Cherokee culture and the dillemmas facing it sensitive and profound. The fact is Taylor and Turtle are two of my favorite Kingsolver creations. I highly recommend this book and its sequel.
