The Poisonwood Bible

by Barbara Kingsolver

Book Description
The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them all they believe they will need from home but soon find that all of it -- from garden seeds to Scripture -- is human failings and inspiring poetic justice of our times, this tale of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa is set against one of history's most dramatic political parables. In a compelling exploration of religion, conscience, imperialist arrogance, and the many paths to redemption, Barbara Kingsolver has brought forth her most ambitious work ever.
