Jane Watkinson’s Reviews > Demon Copperhead > Status Update

Stupendous writing! Kingsolver effortlessly inhabits the persona of a teenage boy growing up in West Virginia during the opioid scandal. Demon’s struggles are agonising to witness but you’re rooting for him all the way. Magnificent story telling. My only slight niggle is that, knowing the story of David Copperfield, you know which characters will not make it. But maybe this stops it being such a shock? Still loved it
