The short stories in this collection are spread over landscapes
ranging from northern California and the urban Southwest to the
hills of eastern Kentucky and the Caribbean island of St Lucia. In
every setting the characters are bound by a strong sense of place
and the ties of love and family history: a child accepts the
impossible responsibility of remembering her Cherokee
great-grandmother's dying culture; a quietly dissolving couple must
fight ghosts of past expectations to reach one another; a tough
Mexican American woman finds herself in jail because of her
commitment to a family legacy of 'doing the right thing'. Homeland
and Other Stories follows in the tradition of some of the great
short story writers of our time, including Alice Munro, Flannery
O'Connor and Annie Proulx. With disarming honesty - at times comic
but often heartrending - Barbara Kingsolver emerges as a true
master of the form.
