The Truth about Melody Browne

The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver

Plucky Taylor Greer grows up poor in rural Kentucky with two goals: to avoid pregnancy and to get away. She succeeds on both counts when she buys an old car and heads west. But midway across the country, motherhood catches up with her when she becomes guardian of an abandoned baby girl she calls Turtle. In Tucson they encounter an extraordinary array of people, and with their help Taylor builds herself and her sweet, stunned child a life.

First published in 1988

Sequel ‘Pigs in Heaven’ 1993

The book for discussion on 1st June is:

IT'S THE QUIET ONES YOU HAVE TO WATCH

Three women, connected by one brutal crime.
Three women, determined to right the wrongs done to them.
Three women, with everything to hide.
When it comes to revenge, even good people are capable of terrible things.
But only one person killed Daniel Sutherland.
How long can their secrets smoulder, before they explode into flame?

'Here are characters who are real and likeable, even when they are complicated and flawed. Paula Hawkins is a genius'
Lisa Jewell
