However, some of the most important would be the rise of 19th-century imperialism, the Cold War, the election and assassination of Patrice Lumumba, and the so-called “Congo Crisis.” Throughout the 19th century, the powerful nation-states of Western Europe sent expeditions to other parts of the world, especially in Asia and Africa. Poisonwood alludes to a great many historical events-too many to name in this summary. Kingsolver continues to write fiction and nonfiction. Kingsolver followed this book with Animal Dreams (1990), Pigs in Heaven (1993), and The Poisonwood Bible, usually regarded as her best novel. It was in 1988 that Kingsolver published her first novel, The Bean Trees, a surprise hit. She married in 1985, and had a child two years later, but separated from her husband in 1992.
By the mid-80s, Kingsolver was earning a living as a science writer in Arizona. She later studied ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona. She began studying biology toward the end of her time in college, and graduated with a B.S.
Kingsolver studied music at Depauw University in Indiana. When she was only seven years old, her father, a doctor, moved his family to the Congo, where he worked in the public health sector for many years (this period of Kingsolver’s life would form the basis for The Poisonwood Bible).
