About the book
Barbara Kingsolver follows the Price family on their missionary journey to the Congo, during the political turbulence of the 1950s and 60s. Narrated through the perspectives of multiple family members—each with their own doubts, hopes and crises of faith—the novel investigates how religion, noble intentions and cultural shock intertwine with devastating consequences.
Compassionate and unsettling, the book questions the morality of well-intentioned actions and examines how families are transformed when confronted with realities that challenge their deepest beliefs.
