The Poisonwood Bible

- BY BARBARA KINGSOLVER

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 new edition for 2017 features a cover design by award-winning fashion designer, Tina Lobondi. 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.
