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.

In this sequel to "The Bean Trees", not only does Taylor Greer come of age but in a way the author does, too.
Her wonderful style of writing is more fine-tuned and delicate. There are sentences like pearls on a string - you just want to keep them in jewelry box, take them out from time to time and stare at them adoringly:

"No matter what kind of night you´ve had; morning always wins"
"Before you knew it, dawn had been delivered to this address"

This audio book makes you want to buy the physical book at once, so that you can enjoy the masterful language once again in written form.

An excellent narrator - the same as in the first book - rounds off this wholly pleasurable experience.
