SynopsisThe highly acclaimed New York Times bestseller--a selection of Oprah's Book Club(--is now available in paperback. When evangelist Nathan Price takes his family to the Belgian Congo in 1959, the seeds they plant bloom in tragic ways within the country's complex culture., New York Times Bestseller - An Oprah Book Club Pick "Powerful . . . [Kingsolver] has with infinitely steady hands worked the prickly threads of religion, politics, race, sin and redemption into a thing of terrible beauty." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review Taking its place alongside the classic works of postcolonial literature, this ambitious novel established Barbara Kingsolver as one of the most thoughtful and daring of modern writers. 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 everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it--from garden seeds to Scripture--is calamitously transformed on African soil. What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa., New York Times Bestseller * An Oprah Book Club Pick "Powerful . . .
