The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
5.0
As I'm arguably the last person in the readers' universe to get to The Poisonwood Bible, I doubt there is anything left to say about this amazing book. In one word: a masterpiece!!
Once again, I am very grateful to be in a book club that "made me" read a book that's been sitting on my bookshelves for over a decade, and one that I needn't have been intimated by for so long.
I don't think I'll be looking to read any other books by Ms Kingsolver, though. I tried The Lacuna a few years ago and could simply not get into it, and I've heard very mixed things about Flight Behaviour, too, but this one may enjoy a reread in years to come.
