Book by Kingsolver Barbara

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

The Poisonwood Bible shows what happens when one of the most talented writers of our generation comes to maturity... [It] ranks with the most ambitious works of postcolonial literature and it should at last establish Kingsolver s reputation in Europe as one of America s most gifted novelists. (Independent on Sunday)

The Poisonwood Bible is a book club classic... The novel begins as a family saga but evolves into a polemic about how African lives are ruined by Western greed and fear ... There is humour, history, love and loss. The characterisation is exquisite. --(The Times)

A quantum-leap breakthrough... learned, tragicomic and sprawling. --(NY Times Magazine)

Brilliant. Now, that is no sort of measured critical reaction but it is how I feel I must begin with a one-word shout of praise for this superb epic novel... [Barbara Kingsolver] says she spent thirty years waiting for the wisdom and maturity to dare to write this book. Never has such patience been more rewarded. --(Margaret Forster Literary Review)
