I've read this story before. Sassy girl from a small town in the South can't wait to get out of town. Ends up in a new place surrounded by quirky people who become her family. I don't know what it is about these stories, but I love them. This reminded me of "Where the Heart Is" or one of Joshilyn Jackson's books. Southern Fiction.
The characters were great, and I don't know how a little kid who barely does anything the whole book could be so endearing, but she was.
I loved it, and it's definitely inspired me to try more Kingsolver. I know there's mixed reviews on Pigs in Heaven, but I'm going to give it a try, and I'm on the list for Poisonwood Bible as well. Maybe I'll like them, maybe I won't, but I'm very glad I read this. ”
