This book will be an all-timer for me. My goodness. Kingsolver's ability to inhabit this narrator is absolutely astounding, especially given the narrative voices she's used in her other books. The absolute precious care that each person in this story was treated with through Demon's eyes will stay with me forever. Struggling with them through poverty, homelessness, addiction, but still experiencing the immense joy is such a visceral experience. I could go on and on. This book was a gift!
