Set in the mountains of Appalachia, Demon Copperhead  braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses. Through all of it, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities. Kingsolver’s writing is arresting and illuminating; in baring Demon’s soul on the page she gives voice and visibility to a place and its people where beauty and desperation live side by side. Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, this is the story of an irrepressible boy nobody wants, but readers will love. Winner of the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction
