Kingsolver has a knack for writing in several different voices, telling this story through the eyes of the daughters of a very over the top missionary.
Maybe it was because this was one of the first books I read since a very long hiatus from fiction, but I adored this story.
The characters were compelling, their life together was fascinating, and I learned a bit about history as well. And if a book can make me happy to learn about history, it must be well worth a read.

A friend passed this book on to me when she finished it, and I passed it to another friend, and it is still making its way through book lovers in my town; each of us loving it and wanting to share with anyone we know.
