I read and listened to this book. The reader is Barbara Kingsolver and she did a good job. This book started out slowly for me, as I was loathe to find out what trouble the characters were in. But her wonderful phraseology and description of things pulled me in. Her characters were complex and interesting. There are alot of layers in this book, and my book club did not have time to discuss as much as I would have liked. The overriding topics were representative of the mess we find ourselves in today. Some people felt she preached or over-stated her case; I felt it was "spot on".
