The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them all they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it - from garden seeds to Scripture - is calamitously transformed on African soil.

This tale of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction, over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa, is set against history's most dramatic political parables.

The Poisonwood Bible dances between the darkly comic human failings and inspiring poetic justices of our times. In a compelling exploration of religion, conscience, imperialist arrogance, and the many paths to redemption, Barbara Kingsolver has brought forth her most ambitious work ever.

Dr Kay Scarpetta has left Virginia in quest of peace but instead finds herself drawn into baffling, horrific murders in Florida, where she becomes entangled in an international conspiracy that confronts her with the shock of her life.

Reviews

‘All of Cornwell’s books run on high octane fuel, a cocktail of adrenalin and fear…such is her grip on her audience and such is her ability to suck you into her hermetic, claustrophobic world that Scarpetta’s tension becomes the reader’s. Her fear is contagious, her adrenalin levels boost your own’ The Times

‘Scarpetta is a compassionate, moral crusader, a force for good in a sea of evil. Her focus is on the victims. There is never any attempt at understanding the “squirrels” who kill for their twisted reasons. There is no redemption for them either. And that’s how it should be.’ Daily Mail
