Review: Barbara Kingsolver's "The Poisonwood Bible"

Continent: Africa
Genre: Historical Fiction
Sent in by: Wendy Miller-Williams

Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver - a fantastic book, well written and very moving. Set in the Congo and features a devout evangelist who takes his family to 'educate' the tribes of Ham in the 1950s. It has to go into my Top 20 all time favourite reads - one of those books you want to read all over again once you've finished it. Great for reading groups, as there are lots of issues to discuss.
