I have loved Barabara Kingsolver's books since the Bean Trees but I found myself having a hard time getting into and sticking with this one. The stories are beautifully told, each in its own prose reflecting the time period of the characters, but it took a long time for the connection to be established between the two. I got the social commentary Kingsolver is making but perhaps it is too close to the news for me to get that feeling of getting lost in fiction.
