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.This P.S. edition
features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including
author interviews, recommended reading, and more.
