The Axeman's Carnival

By Catherine Chidgey

3 stars

Chidgey is a master of descriptive writing, and some passages are beautiful. However, I couldn't get into the story itself and had to really push to get through it.
The Poisonwood Bible

By Babara Kingsolver

5 stars

I'm not a huge fan of novels written from multiple perspectives, but this book may have changed my mind on that. Beautiful, gut-wrenching, and eye-opening, this depiction of the Congo in the 1960s and the years that followed allowed me to further recognize the devastating impacts of colonial and imperial mindsets over Africa. Made for the starting point of research into this! The Rest is History Podcast on the Congo is great.
