Even the steadfast faith that led this righteous family to the Congo begins to waver early on. Needless to say, most of what they decide to bring ends up being of no use to the Prices. The Prices go through extraordinary efforts to prepare for their trip, bringing everything they can pack in their bags (and wear on their bodies) across the Atlantic Ocean to the Congo. Last but certainly not least is five-year-old Ruth May, the most adventurous of the Price family. The Poisonwood Bible is narrated by the five female members of the Price family, each with a (very) different personality, ranging from the quiet, passive mother, Orleanna Price, to fifteen-year-old beauty queen Rachel Price, to Leah and Adah, fourteen-year-old twins who share nothing in common besides a birthday. Synopsis: In 1959, an overzealous Baptist minister named Nathan Price decides to move his wife and four daughters to a desolate, isolated part of the Congo, intent on rescuing the unenlightened villagers of Kilanga from their polygamous, polytheistic lifestyle.
