The Poisonwood Bible: A Novel by Barbara Kingsolver
 
Informative, Adventurous, Insightful
The Poisonwood Bible

A contemporary domestic tragedy that took place over 40 years. Missionaries in Africa against all odds with an insane patriarch. Written from 5 points of view (the mother and 4 daughters) it tells a story that is very difficult to endure. While I enjoyed the book, the other members of my book club did not. It was very long and just a sad story.

 
Poorly Written, Slow, Pointless
Lady at the OK Corral

This book did little to inform us of the "true" story of Josephine Earp. And the writing was choppy and did not hold my interest. I wonder about the title. There was not much information about her and the OK corral. I do not recommend this book unless you want to know more about Wyatt Earp.

Story of women's issues early 20th century

An informative tale of midwifery and other issues pertaining to women in Nova Scotia in the early 1900's. Well written and well developed characters. A thoroughly entertaining and educational novel.
