What follows would shame the gods, if any were paying attention. Here's the mother, back in the U.S., in old age: "Now that every turn in the weather whistles an ache through my bones, I stir in bed and the memories rise out of me like a buzz of flies from a carcass." The memories, eloquently relived and regretted, are of grotesque cultural arrogance, unraveling in a very small place. Rumblings of the Congo's struggle for independence from Belgium--and U.S. plotting to assassinate Patrice Lumumba, the new nation's first Prime Minister--are distant thunder in Kingsolver...

What they tell you: "This way, when you're studying with your friends in Quincy, you don't have to call on the outdoor phone to be let in." What they really mean: "With your new, improved, universal slidey card, avoid all the embarassment of waiting outside for a late-night rendezvous with your Quincy House hookup pal."
