The title of this book highlights the characteristic of the author’s production. “Studies” means research, contemplation, and theory, while the word “love” means a permanent event in human life, and a feeling that rational philosophy sees as a confused and ambiguous mixture about which it is not possible to conduct intellectual research.
But the writer here fulfills the imperative duty he formulated: “Theory must open its clear eyes to subjective life from time to time. The viewer guesses and looks, but what he wants to see is life as it flows before him.”
In this study, the writer isolates the essence of love and purifies it, removing from it all the additions that obscure its realistic nature and complicate its process. It is love explained based on psychological and phenomenological research at the same time, and even on social research, since choice in love is considered one of the most effective factors in history.

Nathan Price, a Baptist minister, leaves civilized America, going on a missionary mission to the Belgian Congo, bringing with him his family, who carries with them everything they think they will need, but the African land surprises them, turning everything they brought into something worthless, and even their very existence will be full of challenges. Especially with the political events that are ravaging the country that is struggling to gain its independence, and the major powers are interfering in it, assassinating Patrice Lumumba, the country's first elected prime minister.
The novel is alternately narrated by the mother, who loses something irreplaceable there, and her four daughters, each of whom narrates what is happening in her own way, trying to find her own separate path to salvation.
“The Poison Tree Gospel” is an intense journey in the vibrant African land, and a deep exploration of the other, written with a smooth narrative in which Barbara Kingsolver worked to transform the thorny threads of religion, politics, and race into a piece of literature of breathtaking beauty.
This novel was nominated for several literary awards, was translated into more than thirty languages, and sold more than four million copies around the world.
