A Different Take on the Meaning of "Family"

Date of Review:  Mar 13, 2002
The Bottom Line: Turtle Greer's chance appearance on Oprah may be the catalyst for radical change in the six-year-old's life, as the Cherokee Nation seeks to reclaim its own.
Review: There's a classic song about differences of opinion from a Broadway musical:

You say 'po-TAY-to,' and I say 'po-TAH-to.'
You say 'to-MAY-to,' and I say 'to-MAH-to.'
Po-TAY-to, po-TAH-to, to-MAY-to, to-MAH-to;
Let's call the...

Pigs in Heaven Heaven for Readers

Date of Review:  Jul 24, 2005
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended, especially for women, mothers, and/or those interested in adoption and Native American customs and families.
Review: 'Pigs in Heaven,' copyright 1993, was reissued in 2004. I suppose it would be silly to hold my breath any longer-- obviously, there's no sequel, at least not yet. While Kingsolver's 'The Poisonwood Bible' garnered more press than this book, I think...

One Little Indian Girl

Date of Review:  Jan 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: Kingsolver's unique literary voice and vision make this a poignant, humorous and ultimately thought-provoking tale of a clash of cultures.
Review: Barbara Kingsolver's uniquely eccentric, free-wheeling, poetic literary voice is, to the readers' delight, amply on display in "Pigs in Heaven".
In a story brimming with off-beat humor, poignance, and powerful insights into human foibles,...

The Nation is aware and awake

Date of Review:  Oct 11, 2000
Review: Be colorblind...open your heart to any child...and what is the worst that can happen? You can ignore the ignorant stares of strangers, but Taylor, a white mother with a Cherokee daughter, is approached by a Cherokee and asked to return this child to...

A BOOKTHAT I WOULD READ MORE THAN ONCE

Date of Review:  Jun 12, 2000
Review: As with all of Barbara Kingsolver's books, "Pigs In Heaven" is a warmhearted, interesting book which made me forget my own slice of the world just for a little while. It is a story of love and courage and family; about a lost girl, a woman who...

Great glimpse into Cherokee culture

Date of Review:  Aug 30, 2000
Review: I usually enjoy Barbara Kingsolver's books. Her characters spring to life from her books' pages. This novel is no exception. I found myself quickly drawn into the lives of the characters. I could imagine the events in the novel happening the way...
