It feels as if I've been reading this book for weeks and weeks... looking back, I realise it's only two and a half weeks. Still, that's a long time for me to take over a novel, and reflects my mixed feelings about it. It's the first book I've read by [[Barbara Kingsolver]], and I certainly enjoyed her writing style. The narration is shared by five people - a mother and her four daughters - and their distinct voices and characters came through strongly, with humour in places - particularly Rachel's malapropisms.
