Another one of my favorite authors. I think I have read all of her books now. This is a collection of short stories. When I finished one, I often would say out loud, to myself, "that was a good story." Example: A little girl, left in an orphanage by her emotionally distant doctor father in St. Lucia when her mother dies, so independent that the nuns in charge of her care, gave up on trying to control her, meets up with a native "Obeah man." You have to infer that he is some kind of "priest" though that is never stated. Kingsolver does come up with the most intriguing characters.
