rose wrought of iron Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 About Baptist missionaries who go to the Congo in the 60's and bad things happen to them... one of their daughters is going to die, the father is a bigot/sanctimonious/ one of those people who you can't tell anything/bible beater types. And it's told from his daughters' points of view... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rose wrought of iron Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Yeah, it's really pretty good... and it has funny parts... but there are a few parts that I totally would not have gotten if not for my English teacher, so be warned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rose wrought of iron Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Possibly, but having read far ahead of the class it actually makes a lot of sense... We probably shouldn't be hijacking this thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldbug16 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'm reading "The New Policeman". LAME. It's a recent young adult book. I'm despairing of modern fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
