"...Barbara Kingsolver has dreamed a magnificent fiction and a ferocious bill of indictment."

John Leonard, Nation, 01/11/1999

"With the publication of THE POISONWOOD BIBLE, this easy, humorous, competent, syrupy writer has been elevated to the ranks of the greatest political novelists of our time. She is something new: a political novelist who is careful not to step on anyone's toes. Barbara Kingsolver does not finally give a hoot about Africa."
