    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 all 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.

    Lynda Rains Bonchack says: "A long time coming..........."
    "Brilliantly written. Poorly read."

    Story

    A wonderful, though tragic story. Beautifully written; much of it reads like poetry. This is writing that should be savored. Unfortunately, the narrator's pace is too fast and her expression too flat to do it much justice.
