The legal dispute decribed in Pigs in Heaven is not based on a single case history but was constructed from the materials of exisiting law and historical fact, insofar as I understand them. The specifics of legal process vary among tribes. Other people would tell this story differently, and none of them would be wrong.

"Very few novelists are as habit-forming as Kingsolver.... [It] succeeds on the strength of Kingsolver's clear-eyed, warmhearted writing and irresistible characters."
--Newsweek
"Full of wit, compassion, and intelligence."
--People
"Breathtaking...unforgettable.... This profound, funny, bighearted novel, in which people actually find love and kinship in surprising places, is also heavenly.... A rare feat and a triumph."
--Cosmopolitan
"The delights of superior fiction can be experienced here.... Taylor Greer and her adopted Cherokee daughter, Turtle, first met in The Bean Trees, will captivate readers anew.... Assured and eloquent...it mixes wit, wisdom, and the expert skills of a born raconteur."
--Publishers Weekly
"That rare combination of a dynamic story told in dramatic language, combined with issues that are serious, debatable, and painful.... [It's] about the human heart in all its shapes and ramifications."
--Los Angeles Times Book Review "Masterful and touching.... The amount of fresh imagery and perceptive observation [Kingsolver] fits into this craggy surface makes it impossible to read any three consecutive pages without knowing we're in the presence of a brilliant writer, one not to be missed."
--Detroit News
"A crackerjack storyteller...Kingsolver has a way with miracles. One is the way she opens her plot to them. The other is the way she makes us believe."
--Newsday
"Immensely readable, warmhearted...brim[ming] with down-home wisdom and endearing characters."
--Boston Globe
