The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver

A story that is 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.
Barbara Kingsolver is the global prize-winning and bestselling author of novels including Unsheltered, Flight Behaviour, The Lacuna and The Poisonwood Bible as well as books of poetry, essays and creative non-fiction. Kingsolver's work has been translated into more than thirty languages and has earned literary awards and a devoted readership at home and abroad. Demon Copperhead won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, was shortlisted for the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction and for the James Tait Black Prize, and won the Women's Prize, making Kingsolver the first author to win the Prize twice. Barbara lives with her family on a farm in southern Appalachia.
