RARE 1ST EDITION! Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver (1998, Hardcover) FINE

The first edition of *The Poisonwood Bible* by Barbara Kingsolver was published in 1998 by HarperFlamingo. This novel is a historical fiction work that follows the Price family, an evangelical Baptist missionary family from Georgia, as they move to the Belgian Congo in 1959.  
The book is structured as a multi-voiced narrative, with alternating perspectives from the five female members of the Price family—Orleanna, the mother, and her four daughters: Rachel, Leah, Adah, and Ruth May. Through their experiences, the novel explores themes of colonialism, cultural misunderstanding, political upheaval, and the complexities of faith.  
The first edition was released in hardcover, with a dust jacket featuring an orange-brown color scheme and an illustration of a forest scene, evoking the novel’s African setting. It received widespread critical acclaim and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
