With the same wit and sensitivity that have come to characterize her highly praised and beloved novels "Animal Dreams" and "The Bean Trees, " Barbara Kingsolver gives us a rich and emotionally resonant collection of twelve stories. Spreading her memorable characters over landscapes ranging from northern-California to the hills of eastern Kentucky and the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, Kingsolver tells stories of hope, momentary joy, and powerful endurance. In every setting, Kingsolver's distinctive voice -- at times comic, but often heartrending -- rings true as she explores the twin themes of family ties and the life choices one must ultimately make alone. "Homeland and Other Stories" creates a world of love and possibility that readers will want to take as their own.
