A powerful and suspenseful epic set in the Belgian Congo, following the tragic undoing and reconstruction of Nathan Price's family over three decades. Narrated by his wife and four daughters, the novel explores themes of religion, politics, race, sin, and redemption amidst Congo's fight for independence. Kingsolver weaves a tale of moral risk and personal responsibility in a beautifully dark narrative.
