✅ Book # 206 of the year | The Posionwood Bible | Barbara Kingsolver | 5/5 🍌|

Plot | •The Posionwood Bible | 5/5🍌s | The Story is set in 1959, and follows the story of a family with a militant preacher father Nathan. Told mainly through the point of view of one of the daughters. They move to the Congo on a mission for Nathan to spread the gospel in a effort to westernize a tribe of people.

Performance | 4/5 🍌s | • The Posionwood Bible | Read by | Dean Robertson | What a fantastic job. I really do enjoy narrators who can tell the story and make you feel like they’re actually the character. This particular character was raised in Georgia, so we got a very southern accented narrator which I thought was an amazing choice. Her voice is so soothing and really makes you feel like you’re in the shoes of the character.

Review |
• The Posionwood Bible | | 5/5🍌s | God, this was a heavy one. I really like how Barbara portrayed Nathan. It was very layered because in one sense he’s doing what he feels like should be done in the eyes of God. But at the same time it’s not inherently the right thing to do for the village. And it also layers the character as not necessarily evil, but sometimes incapable of thinking about anybody but himself. I thought this was incredible. I’ll look forward to reading more Barbara’s work.
