Republication With P.S.New York Times Bestselling Author“Extraordinarily fine. Kingsolver has a Chekhovian tenderness toward her characters. . . . The title story is pure poetry.”―Russell Banks, New York Times Book ReviewThis rich and emotionally resonant collection of twelve stories spans a variety of landscapes from northern California to the hills of eastern Kentucky and the Caribbean island of St. Lucia.

Drawn with empathy and humor, the characters in these stories are bound by a strong sense of place and, especially, the compelling ties of one human being to another.

Kingsolver creates a world of love and possibility that
