February read: The Poisonwood Bible by Deborah Kingsolver

Our discussion for February will be on The Poisonwood Bible by Deborah Kingsolver.

“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 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. What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.”

We will be meeting at The Thirsty Scholar on March 3, 2026 at 7:00 pm to discuss The Poisonwood Bible. I will have a loose outline of some discussion points to get us started, but nothing too formal. Hope to see you there. The Thirsty Scholar is a pub, so food and drink are available and at your own cost.

Take care and stay warm!
