The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver – BCK #26

This is the compelling drama of a U.S. missionary family in Africa during a war of decolonization.  At its center is Nathan Price, a self-righteous Baptist minister who establishes a mission in 1959 in the Belgian Congo. The resulting clash of cultures is seen through the eyes of his wife and his four daughters.  Place a hold on the kit here.
