One aspect of the novel that I can relate to (since I don't connect with the theme of motherhood and female friendships because almost all of my friends are men) is Taylor's longing for Estevan, who is married.
"Mama, I feel like, I don't now what. Like I've died."
"I know. You feel like you'll never run into another one that's worth turning your head around for, but you will. You'll see."
"No, it's worse than that. I don't even care if I ever run into anybody else. I don't know if I even want to."
(pg. 296 of The Bean Trees)
