A perfect book (even though I could have done with a bit more depth to Dori). Kingslover does an exquisit job of creating characters, and the perspective of Demon is believable and packs so much depth and heart. This is a story that you can be enthralled in and by and learn from and feel empathy for the characters (and the real people they are inspired by) all at the same time. 

The depiction of poverty and addiction is honest and human.
