Demon Copperhead - Barbara Kingsolver

‘First, I got myself born.’ Thus begins the epic saga from the much loved author Barbara Kingsolver who wrote The Poisonwood Bible and Flight Behaviour, two integral pieces of work of the modern canon.

Set in the mountains of Appalachia, the novel tells the story of a boy born to a teenage single mother. Taking inspiration from Dickens’ David Copperfield, Kingsolver’s novel speaks to our generation and resounds the importance of narrative in troubled times.
