'Beautiful.' INDEPENDENT

An international bestseller and a modern classic, this suspenseful epic of one family's tragic undoing and their remarkable reconstruction has been read, adored and shared by millions around the world.

This story is 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.

'This remains one of the most fascinating books I have ever read.'
'I felt every emotion under the sky with this book.'
'Riveting.'
'This novel left a lasting - YEARS LASTING - impression.'
'This is one of those books that stands the test of time and is worth rereading.'

Pressestimmen

There are few ambitious, successful and beautiful novels. Lucky for us, we have one now, in Barbara Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible..This awed reviewer hardly knows where to begin." Jane Smiley The Poisonwood Bible is a book club classic ... The novel begins as a family saga but evolves into a polemic about how African lives are ruined by Western greed and fear ... There is humour, history, love and loss. The characterisation is exquisite. The Times 20070623
