具體描述
Ten years ago, Barbara Kingsolver published a first novel that is well on its way to becoming a classic work of American fiction. "The Bean Trees" is a book readers have taken to their hearts. It is now a standard in college literature classes across the nation and has been translated for a readership stretching from Japan to Romania.When it was first published, however, its author was unknown. Word of mouth spread slowly among booksellers, librarians, critics and readers with a passion to share their favorite books. In "The Bean Trees" they found a spirited protagonist, Taylor Greer, who grew up in poor in rural Kentucky with the goals of avoiding pregnancy and getting away. But when Taylor heads west with high hopes and a barely functional car, she meets the human condition head-on. By the time she arrives in Tucson, she has acquired a completely unexpected child and must somehow come to terms with both motherhood and the necessity for putting down roots. Hers is a story about love and friendship, abandonment and belonging, and the discovery of surprising resources in apparently empty places.Most readers of "The Bean Trees" discovered the novel in its paperback edition. On the 10th anniversary of its first publication, HarperFlamingo is proud to offer readers this special hardback edition, redesigned to be easy on the eyes and priced to be accessible to every lover of good fiction.

讀後感
冯至给《致青年诗人的十封信》写的译序里，有一个树的比喻：“一个个的人在世上好似园里的那些并排着的树。枝枝叶叶也许有些呼应吧，但是它们的根，它们盘结在地下摄取营养的根却各不相干，又沉静，又孤单。” 芭芭拉·金索沃的《豆树青青》则描绘了树的另一种生活：豆树靠自己...
評分作为在肯塔基州乡间长大的美国当代著名作家以及美国人文领域最高荣誉“国家人文勋章”获得者，芭芭拉·金索沃创作的关注点很多都是女性，《毒木圣经》如此，《豆树青青》亦如此。越是艰难时期的生活，压在女性肩上的重担就越是要比任何时候好像都要更重一些——这样的时候，往...
評分我是通过《毒木圣经》认识的这位名为芭芭拉·金索沃的作者，她的作品都十分畅销，不能算多产，但是每一部作品都能引起不小的轰动。这本《豆树青青》也是很具有她独特风格的一部作品，在这部作品中，故事和人物更接近生活。故事中的人物都是一些小人物，他们的所思所想和现代的...
