Read this for a book club - definitely not something I would have picked up on my own. So much packed into this story, all of it tough and funny and heartbreaking. I enjoyed it but wished it was shorter, also wish the author had included a few trigger warnings at the beginning.

This book was incredible. It was a tough read, but I am SO GLAD I read this book. When I got to the last 100 pages, I just couldn’t put it down. Barbara Kingsolver showed Demon’s world with incredible detail and brought reader’s on an incredible journey.
