An evocative retelling teeming with Appalachian resilience.

"Demon Copperhead" by Barbara Kingsolver isn't just a book; it's a slice of life from the Appalachian heartlands, retold with a voice that's as haunting as it is beautiful. Kingsolver's prose masterfully weaves the local dialect and unravels poignant themes, which might remind you of Dickens but with a distinctly raw, American spirit. If you're looking for a story that's as much about the place as the person, this could be a deeply satisfying read.

Description

An alternative cover edition for this ISBN can be found here. Demon's birth begins with him looking 'like a little blue prizefighter.' For the life ahead of him he would need all of that fighting spirit, along with buckets of charm, a quick wit, and some unexpected talents, legal and otherwise. In the southern Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, poverty and addiction aren't ideas. They're as natural as the grass grows. For Demon, born on the wrong side of luck, the affection and safety he craves is as remote as the ocean he dreams of seeing one day. The wonder is in how far he's willing to travel to try and get there. Suffused with truth, anger and compassion, Demon Copperhead is an epic tale of love, loss and everything in between.
