Barbara Kingsolver’s Demon Copperhead is a brilliant and unforgettable novel that reimagines Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield through the eyes of a boy born into the unforgiving world of modern-day rural America. Set in the Appalachian Mountains, this masterfully told story follows Demon, a child of a single teenage mother, as he navigates poverty, foster care, addiction, heartbreak, and resilience.
Told with Kingsolver’s signature compassion, grit, and sharp social insight, Demon Copperhead shines a light on the struggles of those often left behind in society—while celebrating the strength and spirit it takes to survive. Both devastating and uplifting, this Pulitzer Prize–winning novel captures the voice of a generation with raw truth and unforgettable warmth.
This hardcover edition in English is a must-have for fans of powerful character-driven storytelling and contemporary American literature.
