The poisonwood Bible
by Barbara Kingsolver
RC 46882
An American missionary family lands in the village of Kilanga in the Congo
in 1959, and the cultural confrontation begins immediately. The mother and
four
daughters react to their new environment, the villagers respond to their new
preacher, and the family dynamics change. All of this is intensified by the
Congo's own political turmoil. Bestseller.
This is one of those books that will stick with me for a very long time. Kingsolver writes this story from the five different view points of the Mother and the four daughters.It's written with lots of beautiful descriptions of the African continent and the living conditions. I couldn't put this one down, as I am fond of saying, a real cassette flipper. I highly recommend this book and will try to find more of Kingsolver's books. a definite five out of five.
