The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver


After many years of pushing this battered, dog-eared book down on my reading stack, I finally picked it up as a welcome break from space opera and popular science.  The non-stop cajoling of my family finally overwhelmed my hedonistic reading proclivities.   The book and story are as fantastic as my family promised. The deep insights into culture and geopolitics of (what are in 2021) Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Angola are still extremely valuable.  I am sorry I did not read this book decades ago.  5/5 Stars.
