Book Review: Barbara Kingsolver The Poisonwood Bible

Hi
I have just finished reading "The Poisonwood Bible" by Barbara Kingsolver. I enjoyed  this book.
It's about a missionary who takes his wife and four daughters to Africa. The story is unusual in that it is told in the thoughts of the four women without any true narrative. The thoughts and reasons of the father/husband are never revealed. I was quickly drawn into this story and always left wanting to know more.
It's been out a few years now but if you haven't read this one yet it is an interesting insight into life in the 'Congo'.
