Explanation and Analysis:

The Poisonwood Bible is made up of first-person narration from five different women in the Price family: Orleanna, Rachel, Leah, Adah, and Ruth May. Although their personalities often determine the style in which Kingsolver writes, there is much consistency in Kingsolver's style throughout the novel. She especially prioritizes giving her readers a larger view of the Congo's history and cultures.
