Demon Copperhead by Barbara KingsolverLearn about another entry on the list.
Barbara Kingsolver brings the themes of Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield to southern Appalachia in her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Inspired by the man while staying in his house, Kingsolver captures the opioid epidemic in a survivor’s tale told with beauty, nuance and compassion.
"Barbara Kingsolver’s wonderful novel Demon Copperhead," writes Carline Lea, "translates Dickens’s ideas about poverty and social inequality in Victorian London into a searing exploration of poverty in America and particularly the drug crisis in deprived rural communities."
