Remarkably reflective story following the life of a boy who's had a wrench thrown in every single one of his plans. The reader can easily find themself sympathizing with traditionally "wrong" or "evil" mindsets. The cast of characters are diverse and tragic in their own ways, it's hard not to connect with a character in this story. Kingsolver touches on a variety of different themes-- ranging from addiction, poverty, and more. The writing is also very indulgent, and there is hardly a line or metaphor that goes to waste in this novel. Truly a classic ahead of its time.
