Book Reviews of The Rapture of Canaan
Book Review: An Isolated Fundamentalist Community Faces a Crisis
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a fascinating novel that juxtaposes the dark and brutal
ignorance of a fundamentalist, isolated community with its depth
and caring for its members.
The story is told through the eyes of Ninah and her grandmother,
Leilah. We are shown the misbegotten pain and fear that causes
hurt in the name of love. Ninah is pregnant, her boyfriend com-
mits suicide and their son is treated as the new Messiah. This
brings the community to a existential crisis.
The book was both painful and joyous to read. It was one of
Oprah's Book Club recommendations. I admire Oprah for her
Oprah could popularize a book like this.
