Review of "Pigs in Heaven" by Barbara Kingsolver

A sequel to The Bean Trees, and a much better book - not really positioned as a sequel, but I realised a little way in. Readable without having read the previous book. I read it during my recent bout of covid, and it was just perfect - interesting and engaging enough without being too emotionally taxing (despite themes of racism, abandonment, child abuse and so on). I learned a bit about how racism against Native Americans has worked, and a bit about Cherokee culture. I had a little cry at the end.
