(  ) HoladayB | Oct 18, 2009 |  Another beautifully written novel by Kingsolver. Not a fast paced story but one that really makes you feel you are right with the characters, feeling what they are feeling. I love all of her books (  ) bookmagic | Aug 9, 2009 | Packend. nipomuki | Aug 9, 2009 | I got this book for Jr. year accelerated English class. When (one of the) narrator(s) says "sisters are more precious than eyes" I understood exactly what she meant. And I've always loved New Mexico. (  ) ewalrath | Jul 18, 2009 | I don't remember anymore how many times I have read this book. Every time I pick it up, it's like visiting with old friend - that's how good it is. Kingsolver's characters here are interesting and sympathetic, and I love how the setting is really a character all by itself. Also, the historical part of the story that weaves through the current parts of the story make it even more interesting. I love parts of the story, especially where Cody meets Loyd's family... and discovers bread. Ah yes, bread junkies unite! ( ) Naberius | Jul 14, 2009 | 
 Barbara Kingsolver is one of an increasing number of American novelists who are trying to rewrite the political, cultural and spiritual relationships between our country's private and public spheres.
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0613032950, School & Library Binding)"Animals dream about the things they do in the day time just like people do. If you want sweet dreams, you've got to live a sweet life." So says Loyd Peregrina, a handsome Apache trainman and latter-day philosopher. But when Codi Noline returns to her hometown, Loyd's advice is painfully out of her reach. Dreamless and at the end of her rope, Codi comes back to Grace, Arizona to confront her past and face her ailing, distant father. What the finds is a town threatened by a silent environmental catastrophe, some startling clues to her own identity, and a man whose view of the world could change the course of her life. Blending flashbacks, dreams, and Native American legends, Animal Dreams is a suspenseful love story and a moving exploration of life's largest commitments. With this work, the acclaimed author of The Bean Trees and Homeland and Other Stories sustains her familiar voice while giving readers her most remarkable book yet.
