That thread is gone from the first page. What the hell?

I'm reading The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. Written in 1998 it chronicles the story of an American family headed by a patriarchal, fervent and insanely prideful Reverend Nathan Price who is bent on saving the souls of the Congolese. The story is told mostly from the perspective of his four daughters who are practically his captives.

Kingsolver is always a good read; she seamlessly weaves the story of religious and imperious oppression to tell the story not only of the women of the Price family but the story of the Congo and the so-called "end" of the empire building therein.

I'm about two thirds of the way through now. It's not a happy story, not even a little. But it's a necessary story.
