Reading parts of this book feels like army crawling through gravel, but Kingsolver is a master of give and take writing. She always knows just when to ease up a little bit to get you through. Demon Copperhead is heartbreaking, darkly funny and immensely insightful. 
I’m only knocking half a star off for the shallow purpose of marking that this wasn’t enjoyable for me at times, purely for personal reasons having nothing to do with the quality of the book itself.
