This was a book I could not put down. Very fascinating story about a missionary family in the Belgian Congo. It is told in chapters by each individual character's own words and feelings. There are 4 young daughters in the family and they each tell the story through their own eyes. It is also a story of life in the Belgian Congo at a certain time in history, and as usual, Barbara Kingsolver did a masterful storytelling job!
