This book is interesting. It gives a lot of insight to the Congo. I would like it to the Joy Luck Club. It's written in different character perspectives and does not really have a plot. That's the only reason I didn't thoroughly enjoy the book, there was not a large plot to the book at all.

The best book I’ve read in the past 20 years, and quite possibly, the best book I’ve read ever. This is so beautiful that I had a hard time finishing it because I didn’t want it to come to an end, and so many of my book club friends have had the same feeling.

An excellent look at the ignorance and damage caused by christian missionaries as well as colonists that went in to "fix" Africa (and steal its precious resources). Reminiscent of Things Fall Apart, but from the white missionary's perspective. Also a wonderful look a the weight women carry while being greatly underappreciated by arrogant men.
