KC Oasis Book Club: "The Poisonwood Bible"
Details
We are meeting the first Sunday of the month going forward.
January's book is "The Poisonwood Bible" by Barbara Kingsolver.
Please bring a snack to share and be ready to discuss this highly acclaimed novel.
The Poisonwood Bible, now celebrating its 25th anniversary, established Barbara Kingsolver as one of the most thoughtful and daring of modern writers. Taking its place alongside the classic works of postcolonial literature, it is a suspenseful epic of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in Africa.
The 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.
