‘Demon Copperhead’ by Barbara Kingsolver
Slightly late to the party (yet again) with this one.
Well I wouldn’t agree with New York Times Readers’ who said it was ‘Best Book of the Century’, but it was definitely a good read.
It’s probably the longest book I’ve read in a while.
The novel follows Demon, a young lad who is put into foster care because of a drug addicted mother and goes through a pretty horrendous life. Everything negative that you could think of probably happens to him, with a few positives points in between.
I’m not going to say anything else except, it is well worth a read.
