Beschreibungen
Nathan Price, a Baptist minister, leaves civilized America, going on a missionary mission to the Belgian Congo, bringing with him his family, who carries with them everything they think they will need, but the African land surprises them, turning everything they brought into something worthless, and even their very existence will be full of challenges. Especially with the political events that are ravaging the country that is struggling to gain its independence, and the major powers are interfering in it, assassinating Patrice Lumumba, the country's first elected prime minister. The novel is alternately narrated by the mother, who loses something that cannot be replaced, and her four daughters, each of whom narrates what is happening in her own way, trying to find her own separate path to salvation. "The Poison Tree Gospel" is an intense journey in the vibrant African land, and a deep exploration of the other, written with a smooth narrative in which Barbara Kingsolver worked to transform the thorny threads of religion, politics, and race into a piece of literature of breathtaking beauty. This novel was nominated for several literary awards, was translated into more than thirty languages, and sold more than four million copies around the world.
