Another book which immediately draws you into a world unfamiliar to most people, I should think (the Appalachian Mountains in Virginia). Kingsolver concentrates on 3 women of different generations and backgrounds, and the way their lives intertwine and eventually influence each other. There are men in the book too, but the women take the lead in almost all things. Written with depth and understanding, and love. I thoroughly enjoyed reading every page.
