330 .. $a Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, this is the story of a boy born to a
teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father's
good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival.
In a plot that never pauses for breath, relayed in his own unsparing voice, he 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. Many generations ago, Charles Dickens wrote David
Copperfield from his experience as a survivor of institutional poverty and its damages
to children in his society. Those problems have yet to be solved in ours. Dickens
is not a prerequisite for readers of this novel, but he provided its inspiration.
In transposing a Victorian epic novel to the contemporary American South, Kingsolver
enlists Dickens' anger and compassion, and above all, his faith in the transformative
powers of a good story. Demon Copperhead speaks for a new generation of lost boys,
and all those born into beautiful, cursed places they can't imagine leaving behind.
