Genesis -- The revelation -- The judges -- Bel and the serpent -- Exodus -- Song of the three children -- The eyes in the trees.
The drama of a U.S. missionary family in Africa during a war of decolonization. At its center is Nathan Price, a self-righteous Baptist minister who establishes a mission in a village in 1959 Belgian Congo. The resulting clash of cultures is seen through the eyes of his wife and his four daughters. By the author of Pigs in Heaven.
