 Absolutely heartbreaking masterpiece. Deserves all the accolades. I am in awe of how Kingsolver evokes place and people. I am humbled by the love she obviously has for the region. I am maddened and saddened by how we have and continue to harm people with our greed and misconceptions. I am heartened by the strength and determination of the people of the region to survive. I am sure Demon's voice will stick with me for a along time.

A really tough read but worth it. Sucks you right in, punches you in the gut and throws you out on the other side with a whole new set of emotions.
