What book are you reading right now?

Just read the Poisonwood Bible
It’s a terrific book.
Highly recommend it
You should take a look.
Missionaries in the Congo
When independence came.
An awful U.S. Baptist, totally arrogant
Who has no feel for Africa
To his eternal shame.
It’s narrated by four daughters
And his long suffering wife.
How they come to terms with things
Or mostly how they don’t.
The book has funny moments
Though mostly we’re appalled.
The minister says the children
Have to be baptised.
He wants them in the river
That’s full of crocodiles.
It’s very cleverly handled
Five different points of view.
The Women’s Prize for fiction
A really excellent read.

Biggest lesson learned in the book?
