«The Poisonwood Bible» is Barbara Kingsolver's novel in paperback (626 pages, in English).
The wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a Baptist missionary who takes his family to the Belgian Congo in 1959, narrate the story. Over three decades in postcolonial Africa, the family falls apart and rebuilds: their beliefs and their baggage transform calamitously, in a tale about faith, colonialism and cultural clash.
For book clubs and readers of literary and historical fiction interested in postcolonial Africa.
