DEMON COPPERHEAD by Barbara Kingsolver A modern day (1990s) re-telling/adaption of Charles Dickens’ ‘David Copperfield’. If you haven’t read Dickens’ book, you can wait a little longer as this follows the storyline quite closely. Damon/Demon Copperhead’s life from birth to about 19 years of age is heavy, sad, bleak and depressing. I read this dreading whatever next terrible situation Demon would find himself in. Dude couldn’t catch a break! It doesn’t make for a very hopeful read. That said, Demon’s experience is tragic and traumatic. Set in Appalachia during the opioid crisis, his life highlights his experience in the foster system, and the struggles (and prejudices) the people of Appalachia deal with daily. While I would agree with most reviewers who say this was well written, at times it was borderline pretentious and bogged down with too many details reiterating the obvious point. In short, yes it’s brilliant and deserves the recognition, but ultimately it just wasn’t for me. Rating: 3.75/5 ⭐️

Genuine and full of love for a neglected region and people

Wow. Eye-opening and though provoking and so well written. A really powerful novel about the unseen forces that shape our society. Raw, but at the same time incredibly empathetic and hopeful. At times it was so heartbreaking, and yet I did not want this novel to end.

Barbara Kingsolver does it again!! a stunning accomplishment.

Published by Cindy LeBow , 1 year ago
This book is brilliantly, written, complex, character development, sometimes frightening, often disheartening. Despicable throw you into the lives of the characters you will love them and you will hate them. You will cry and you will laugh.And you’ll long for them to be OK. And hopefully you will remember your own delicate humanity. And be kinder and more loving to yourself at the end. I’ve read all of Barbara Kingsolver books. She’s brilliant writer. This book is no exception. I sit on the edge of my seat, waiting for her next masterpiece.
