Poisonwood Bible —
At first, I was reluctant to read an Oprah pick because I am not a fan of her show or her book club, but Barbara Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Biblewas one of the most intellectual and rewarding novels I have read all year. The story is beautifully crafted with the details of Africa against the patriarchal power of Nathan against his wife Orleanna and their four daughters: Rachel, Leah, Adah, and Ruth May. There is never a dull moment of read in this book, and the constant change of narrator keeps the pages practically turning themselves. A must read!
