Congo

The Poisonwood Bible
by Barbara Kingsolver

Sometimes an outsider’s story can offer insight into an unknown country – especially in the absence of any other available literature. This tale of a missionary family, transplanted from 1950s America to the Belgian Congo, whose preconceptions and distrust eventually lead to their undoing, is skillfully told by award-winning bestselling American author, Barbara Kingsolver.
