Reminds me a lot of Russell Banks’s Rule of the Bone so far.

Does anyone else find this very very similar in voice and plot to Russell Banks’s 1994 coming of age novel Rule of the Bone? I am blown
away by how much Demon sounds like Bone. Much of the plot is similar—mother with a substance problem, depressed rural setting, hateful stepfather, Bone/Demon left to their own devices. Kingslover must know that novel. I can’t find anyone else commenting on these similarities.
