Daunt Books

The year is 1959 and Nathan Price, a fanatical Baptist from southern America, uproots his wife and four daughters by moving to the Belgian Congo. Although weaker in the later chapters, once you get over the slightly curious, occasionally annoying, but ultimately rewarding technique of using four different voices to tell the story, this is a passionate and powerful family saga with exquisitely drawn characters as well as an informative political history.
