Homeland and Other Stories offers comic, often heart-warming but always true to life tales told as only the author can, creating a world of love and possibility that listeners will want to take as their own.

"The world Kingsolver creates is caring and keen on recycling....HOMELAND has too many homilies and while we can learn from them, take heed and gain insight into our relationships, they detract from the writing. There are good characters waiting for an opportunity to develop and they are crushed by the importance of the messages being delivered."

Raffaella Barker, Literary Review, January 1997

"Despite their contemporary dilemmas, these stories, with their quiet epiphanies and insistent hope, seem refreshingly old-fashioned....Barbara Kingsolver writes with compassion....Her empathy with characters she plainly loves, her understanding of their impossible situations, make HOMELAND a strong collection, in which cool observation is balanced by tenderness, anger by forgiveness."

Wendy Brandmark, Times Literary Supplement, 01/24/1997
