The Poisonwood Bible

It took me nearly three weeks, but I just finished reading The Poisonwood Bible which I had been wanting to read for several years. I borrowed the fat hardback copy from the library and dragged it to the DR--always time to read on airplanes.

It is a book worth reading for any missionary, so many things will resonate. But the bad guy in this book, The Father, is an exaggerated caricature of a bad missionary--thankfully, I have never met a missionary as clueless as this character.
