The prose is beautiful — Kingsolver is a master at it — but I couldn’t help but think that Demon’s voice was really inauthentic. It was written by a 60-something woman, and it reads that way. The topics of addiction, abuse and poverty are important topics to discuss, but I would much rather read about these topics from the people who have experienced them, not from an outsider who is not emotionally invested.
