Animals dream about the things they do in the daytime...

This book was so descriptive. It's the first book I've ever read by Barbara Kingsolver, but I plan on reading some more. Her characters are so thought out and well defined. You feel like you know them.

My favorite of Kingsolver's many good books

Codi's sister is in Nicaragua fighting for justice. Codi returns to the mining town in Arizona where she grew up and find herself fighting demons from her past and present. A beautiful book that probes the psyche of a complex woman. A story of love, politics, ethics, environmental issues and committment.
Read it and weep.

Beautiful Detailed Story!

This story is really very beautiful. It Just talks
about love, about how Codi Noline has had a void
in the sphere of love for so many years and needs
some one who is caring in her life
that will pay attention to the
details she has to say. The story takes place in
Grace Arizona. Animal Dreams reminds me of Children
of the Desert which was written Rudolfo Anaya. The
author of Animal Dreams i assume knows
and speaks the language
of Spanish because this book contains alot of words

blended in with English. One has to think in a higher
level, that this is not some type of harlequin romance
novel, but a story that deals with love.

Good read

Good fast read - fun book. I enjoyed The Bean Trees and Pigs in Heaven more, but this book was a close second.

Haunting and Real

At the core of this novel is the natural world that Barbara Kingsolver loves, and living in it are authentic characters complete with hope and dreams and demons. Codi is an especially full character whose needs and fears are tangible; she is haunted by the catastrophes of life and love. So is the reader, through prose that is richly detailed as Kingsolver smoothly blends flashbacks and dreams into the perceptive, wide-awake voice.
