Omschrijving
An enchanting and classic novel of a young woman's voyage of discovery across the Midwest.
This is the story of a lovable, resourceful 'instant mother,' one who speaks, acts and learns for herself, becoming an inspiration to us all
As clear as air. It is the southern novel taken west, its colors as translucent and polished as one of those slices of rose agate from a desert shop
The work of a visionary. . . . It leaves you open-mouthed and smiling
An astonishing literary debut....For a deep breath of fresh air, spend some time in the neighborhood of The Bean Tree
Compelling and very funny
A remarkable, enjoyable book ... I'd definitely urge you to read it
An astonishing literary debut
