Pigs in Heaven by Barbara Kingsolver A novel, where Taylor Greer who has adopted a little girl named Turtle, finds she may have to fight a custody battle with the Cherokee Nation. Questions on adoption, ethnic identity, and poverty are raised but in the end it comes down to what is best for the child. I have read two other Barbara Kingsolver books

Hello and welcome.

Hello Lissa!

Yes I did enjoy it Marcia, thanks. But I read it last month - need to trot off and change the info on what I am reading.

Hello Marcia.

Hello Nellie. Glad you could join.

I hope you enjoy it Kate. I would certainly read her other books.

Red Dust by Gillian Slovo Sarah has left South Africa and has become a successful lawyer in New York, but her mentor Ben Hoffman calls her back to help with a last case. It is a complex story involving crimes committed during the apartheid era and involves torture and human reactions. This is a really good read. Gillian Slovo was born in South Africa and describes the landscape and the people wonderfully well. No Other Life by Brian Moore This seemed to be a familiar story. It is set in a Caribbean island called Ganae, which is ruled by a dictator. A young intelligent black boy called Jeannot is taken in and educated by Father Paul Michel. The boy becomes a priest and is seen as a saviour. An interesting tale of politics and religion.
