Pigs in Heaven by Barbara Kingsolver

2.0

Had I read this on its own, it would probably have gotten three stars. But as a sequel to The Bean Trees, I was very disappointed in it. It continues the story of Turtle and Taylor, but this time they're on the run from the Cherokee nation. The Cherokee have noticed that Turtle is being raised by someone NOT Cherokee, and they apparently have laws about that kind of thing. Taylor's actions don't seem real. I didn't get lost in this book; I was aware the entire time that this was just a book and that's why the actions of the characters sometimes seemed forced. And I really couldn't stand the Cherokee lawyer who was trying to track them down. Bottom line: Read The Bean Trees and stop.
