CHI (V)-SIG City Book Group - The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver Cost: FREE 052025
About this event
The novel is set against one of the most dramatic political chronicles of the twentieth century: the Congo's fight for independence from Belgium….Against this backdrop, Orleanna Price
reconstructs the story of her evangelist husband's part in the Western assault on Africa, a tale indelibly darkened by her own losses and unanswerable questions about her own culpability.
Also narrating the story, by turns, are her four daughters—the teenaged Rachel; adolescent twins Leah and Adah; and Ruth May, a prescient five-year-old….Ultimately each must strike her
own separate path to salvation. Their passionately intertwined stories become a compelling exploration of moral risk and personal responsibility.”
