She writes such warm novels about such wonderful characters! Start with The Bean Trees, one of her earliest - it's a short one, and I guarantee you'll love it!Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-14886935885167749252021-05-26T15:21:35.599-04:002021-05-26T15:21:35.599-04:00Hopeful is good!

I really liked the first two and thought the premise was pretty interesting. She's a good mystery writer--keeping the reader engaged and a consistently good level of tension.<br /><br />I like Kingsolver too, but haven't read much of her early stuff. Need to remedy that.<br /><br />JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-55523117545623741732021-05-25T13:02:46.285-04:002021-05-25T13:02:46.285-04:00I am looking forward to the Big Book Challenge!

I went and put a hold on it to get ready! I am returning The Warmth of Other Suns because the font is too tiny.

All of the books you mention sound great! Force of Nature and The Silent Patient both sound quite intriguing and unnerving, and I'm glad you enjoyed them. Becoming sounds great as well!
