About this book

Demon Copperhead is Barbara Kingsolver's Pulitzer Prize winning retelling of David Copperfield, transposed to the opioid epidemic of contemporary Appalachia. The narrator, born in poverty in rural Virginia, takes the reader through foster care, addiction, football, and the long climb toward something like a stable life.

It is a serious novel and a long one. It also won enormous critical acclaim and has been one of the most discussed American novels of recent years.
