The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver Book Summary

“The Bean Trees is the work of a visionary. . . . It leaves you open-mouthed and smiling.”  — Los Angeles Times

A bestseller that has come to be regarded as an American classic, The Bean Trees is the novel that launched Barbara Kingsolver’s remarkable literary career.

It is the charming, engrossing tale of rural Kentucky native Taylor Greer, who only wants to get away from her roots and avoid getting pregnant. She succeeds, but inherits a three-year-old Native American girl named Turtle along the way, and together, from Oklahoma to Arizona, half-Cherokee Taylor and her charge search for a new life in the West. Hers is a story about love and friendship, abandonment and belonging, and the discovery of surprising resources in seemingly empty places.

This edition includes a P.S. section with additional insights from the author, background material, suggestions for further reading, and more.

The Bean Trees!. This book was great: the protagonist is a strong person who chooses to persevere for the benefit of her adopted child who otherwise would never have had a chance. Language and imagery are both used to create a beautiful, relatable story of the American Dream.

Odd. Interesting.. This book is quite good, it's very heartwarming and different. I would recommend reading this but watch out if your younger there are hardships and terrible saddening things in this book. it makes for a great story though!

Dope. It’s dope

The Bean Trees. It helped to keep my committe guiet while I read.

Touching, interesting, and bittersweet. I read this in highschool years ago and have loved it ever since. I read it at least once a year and always find myself wishing more books were like it. Can't say enough good things about this book.

Ok. I really enjoyed Demon Copperhead so this was a lit disappointing and a slower read. I will read her again though.

Extremely boring, waste of money. Never ever read this s book. We had to read it for English class and it was super super boring and I never want to read it again

suprisingly good book, boring at first but i really loved it in the end. really great i recomend it

The Bean Trees. A unique tale which comes from circumstances most people will never know, how it feels to be lost in the circumstances of the undocumented and illegal in America. Hard topics like child abuse and how the victims cope. An interesting and amazing book.

Great book. I am 13 years old, and had to read this book for school. It was one of the best books I have read in a long time. I would 100% recommend this book.

100 Words or Less. The only memory I have of reading this novel 20 years ago is chasing my roommate around the apartment reading aloud, while she covered her ears and screamed for me to stop. Yeah, the prose is that stilted, hackneyed, predictable, and plain old lazy. The characters are flat. The situation is reworked from hundreds of other novels. The ending is stupid in its warm fuzzy falseness. Ugh. I guess I took it all too seriously. I suppose if you’re looking for a light, breezy, mindless read, this would work … but why? You have so many better options out there.

Excellent Story telling. Loved the characters and the unique story of a family, not by blood, but by love.

The Bean Tree. A great read. Quirky, interesting characters thrown together by happenstance. Great character development. Caught my attention with the first paragraph. Loved it.
