Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible

“Promising Start, Pitiful Finish”

Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible was one of the best books I've ever read. At one part I was reading with tears running down my face. It made me look for more Kingslover books, and I have never been dissapointed in any of them. (read more)
