Poisonwood Bible

I truly enjoyed reading this book for several reasons. The first is it was a great work of fiction! Telling this story through the eyes of the family members was a fascinating way to tell this historical fiction story.
This book also was an eye opener for me because my lack of knowledge on America's position in African history. I feel that most Americans have no idea about our politics & how it affects on other countries/ continents.
I appreciated the opportunity to read this. I was aware of this book, but never found the time to read it!

I made it

Letting you know I found my way here. See everyone very, very soon.

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver

This year, we are reading the Poisonwood Bible by Babara Kingsolver.

The story is about a missionary family, the Prices, who move to the Belgian Congo in 1959. The family consists of the Baptist father, Nathan Price, his wife, Orleanna, and their four daughters - Rachel, Leah, Adah and Ruth May. Their story is narrated by each of the female characters.

As we journey with them in their missionary journey, we will use this as a forum about the conflicts that develop in the book and any connections we make to with our own lives and beliefs.
