Too worthy, if anything. There are three main characters, but they could be exactly the same person seen at different points in a lifetime, so similar are their personalities, so indistinguishable their voices.

That was an enthusiastic reviewer. I picked up Prodigal Summer again. Mind you, I wasn't The Poisonwood Bible 's only fan. I'm sure I was the least of them and that that review had relatively little impact. What doubtlessly had a lot to do with Kingsolver's burgeoning popularity, as Jane Sullivan has pointed out in The Sunday Age , was the championing of The Poisonwood Bible on Oprah's Book Club.
