Phenomenal. Though it didn’t grip me immediately, I fell hard for the fascinating story and flawed/brutal/loveable characters. Each person is fully realized, complicated, and trying to get by however they can. I couldn’t remember much about David Copperfield but the more I researched after reading Demon Copperhead, the more I appreciated Kingsolver creative artistry. This is such an utterly brilliant retelling it will be one of my favourites this year for sure!
