The Poisonwood Bible is by far Kingsolver's best work to date.   Her 
politics is there (and I tend to mostly agree with her politics), 
but the structure, the voices, the themes and the style just carry 
that one beyond whatever else she's done.   She's not my favorite 
author and TPB is not a "great"  book,  but I have to give credit 
where it's due.
