Demon Copperhead is a poignant and gripping novel from Barbara Kingsolver, set against the rich backdrop of the southern Appalachian Mountains in Virginia. The narrative follows the life of Demon, born with little more than a fighting spirit and a heart full of dreams. With a start in life characterised by his traumatic birth to a single mother in a single-wide trailer, Demon’s journey is fraught with the harsh realities of poverty and addiction.
Despite the odds, Demon possesses an indomitable will, a sharp wit, and a suite of unexpected talents that guide him through a world where love and safety are as elusive as the distant ocean he longs to see. As he navigates a life marked by loss and resilience, Demon's story is a powerful exploration of human endurance and the unyielding quest for belonging and hope.
Through its richly drawn characters and evocative settings, Demon Copperhead offers readers a visceral experience, suffused with truth, anger, and compassion. This epic tale of love and loss delves deep into the human spirit, providing a narrative that is both heart-wrenching and inspiring, and one that stays with the reader long after the final page.
What readers are saying:
'An amazing, beautifully written story I cannot wait to recommend to everyone I know.'
'Powerful and brilliant. To immerse yourself in a Kingsolver novel is to put yourself in the hands of a master.'
'A must-read and heart-opening book.'
'Raw, angry, starkly beautiful. . . Genuinely one of the best books I've ever read.'
'Amazingly complex. . . [Kingsolver] is, by far, one of the greatest living authors.'
