I am really enjoying
The Poisonwood Bible, but I would like to find Reverend Nathan Price and smack him around a little bit. I don't know who he thinks he is, but he really needs a reality check.
I am about half-way through the book, so things could change...but I just cannot imagine a man that would cause his family to suffer and endure such undo stress just because he thinks he knows what is right for all whose path he crosses.
I think that Orleana Price reminds me so much of my mother and I just want to reach into the pages of the book and shake her. My mother is still with her abusive husband and all of her children (who are grown) have tried to convince her to leave...but for some reason she just won't budge. We cannot figure it out, but it just seems like there is this wall that she doesn't seem to be able to climb. I hope that Mrs. Price can climb her wall and tell the Reverend where to stick it.
