Kingsolver uses this strategy to produce the overall voice of The Poisonwood Bible, but this is not the only reason she uses this strategy; also uses the opportunity to step further into the foreign land of Africa and its many wonders. “With The Poisonwood Bible, Kingsolver clearly enters a new phase of his career, extending his goals to the creation of an important and highly complex novel that considers political issues of global importance” (Jean, Life and Works 17). Certainly, “Kingsolver's origins in rural Kentucky affected her in two major ways, giving her a deep love of nature and an understanding of the hills and woods where she grew up and demonstrating to her the cruelty of a culture in which divisions by race or lessons are made” (Jean, Life and Works 3), so she takes all these factors into account, and it is quite characteristic how she still managed to look in another way compared to the teachings of her hometown. In the article, DeMarr states that "Kingsolver's latest novel, The Poisonwood Bible, published in late 1998 is a surprising departure from his previous novels in that it is set in Africa, far from Kingsolver's usual North American southwest".”
