sunnylove1970 's review for:

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver

5.0

---

This is the first book I’ve read with such a piercing look at evangelical Christians. The fierce father jack’s his daughters and wife to a life of loneliness, poverty, and fear. The complete disregard for the native customs and beliefs lead to a tragic death, remorse and longing. I despised the weak willed mother and wife who seemed confused and lethargic throughout the novel.
