Fellow novelist KERRY REICHS on BARBARA KINGSOLVER
After you read The Bean Trees, you’ll run to the bookstore to buyPigs in Heaven and Animal Dreams. I snap up Kingsolver’s novels from used bookstores so I have copies at the ready if I meet someone who has not yet had the pleasure. Observant and canny in character, Kingsolver’s women have heart and looking through their eyes opens mine. I read these books with a pen so I can easily return to favorite underlined phrases.
