In the heart of darkness, circa 1959. Kingsolver sends her naive missionaries into the Belgian Congo, where they discover all is not right with the world. A terrific popular success, this novel is also an ambitious and challenging literary work, deftly balancing numerous narrative voices. Extremely informative about the diamond industry, colonialism and the bloody modern origins of independent Congo and Zaire.
