«Les yeux dans les arbres» is the novel by Barbara Kingsolver, published by Rivages in paperback (672 pages, in French).
In 1959, Baptist pastor Nathan Price travels to the Belgian Congo with his wife and four daughters to evangelise. Narrated from the voices of the women of the family, the novel pits the father's religious beliefs against a country seeking independence and addresses colonialism, faith and the consequences of good intentions.
This is the French version of «The Poisonwood Bible» (1998), translated by Guillemette Belleteste, in the Rivages Poche Bibliothèque étrangère collection.
For readers of literary and historical fiction interested in colonialism, religion and family stories.
