Pigs in Heaven

A Novel

By: Barbara Kingsolver

Narrated by: C. J. Critt

Picking up where her modern classic The Bean Trees left off, Barbara Kingsolver’s bestselling Pigs in Heaven continues the tale of Turtle and Taylor Greer, a Native American girl and her adoptive mother who have settled in Tucson, Arizona, as they both try to overcome their difficult pasts.

Taking place three years after The Bean Trees, Taylor is now dating a musician named Jax and has officially adopted Turtle. But when a lawyer for the Cherokee Nation begins to investigate the adoption—their new life together begins to crumble.

Depicting the clash between fierce family love and tribal law, poverty and means, abandonment and belonging, Pigs in Heaven is a morally wrenching, gently humorous work of fiction that speaks equally to the head and the heart.

thank you so much u do a really great job.keepitup

I really appreciate this website you are #1 everyone is recommended to use this site

A perfect second novel.

I was so afraid to start this book thinking that Taylor and Turtle would be separated and the loving bond they have be broken. Definitely a masterpiece follow up with a caring end.

The information about The Trail of Tears and other atrocities to Native Americans.

I liked the way custody of Turtle was determined based on her place in her family and tribe. The importance of family.

Satisfying Conclusion

Satisfying conclusion to the story of Turtle. As with the first book, I stoll couldn't stand the same narrator.

Wonderful Metaphors of Life

I laughed aloud walking down the street. I was sorry when it ended. I'm ready for the next book.
