my first Barbara Kingsolver novel..
exceptional book -- it was well-written, and seemingly well-researched. i think the characters, for all their faults and shortcomings, etc. were full and real. the things that happen over the course of the novel were heartbreaking. which brings me to the less-than-stellar rating.
i don't see myself recommending this book to anyone. i have no doubts in my mind that Demon Copperhead is a book that touched a lot of people and made them feel seen -- i am not one of them.
again, objectively this was a great book but i am not the target demographic. perhaps my bookclub discussion will change my stance.
