About
Oprah's Book Club Pick
In 1959, Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist, takes his four young daughters, his wife, and his mission to the Belgian Congo - a place, he is sure, where he can save needy souls. But the seeds they plant bloom in tragic ways within this complex culture. Set against one of the most dramatic political events of the twentieth century - the Congo's fight for independence from Belgium and its devastating consequences - here is New York Times-bestselling author Barbara Kingsolver's beautiful, heartbreaking, and unforgettable epic that chronicles the disintegration of a family and a nation.
