____________
Demon Copperhead is a once-in-a-generation novel that breaks and mends your heart in the way only the best fiction can.

Demon's story begins with his traumatic birth to a single mother in a single-wide trailer, looking 'like a little blue prizefighter.' For the life ahead of him he would need all of that fighting spirit, along with buckets of charm, a quick wit, and some unexpected talents, legal and otherwise.

In the southern Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, poverty isn't an idea, it's as natural as the grass grows. For a generation growing up in this world, at the heart of the modern opioid crisis, addiction isn't an abstraction, it's neighbours, parents, and friends. 'Family' could mean love, or reluctant foster care. For Demon, born on the wrong side of luck, the affection and safety he craves is as remote as the ocean he dreams of seeing one day. The wonder is in how far he's willing to travel to try and get there.

Suffused with truth, anger and compassion,
Demon Copperhead is an epic tale of love, loss and everything in between.

'Legit about to get an 'I'd rather be reading Demon Copperhead' sticker for my Nissan Murano.' ROB DELANEY

Review

'It's EPIC. Righteously angry, DEEPLY moving, wholly immersive, totally convincing and exquisetly written. She is so GIFTED.' -- Marian Keyes

Reinventing Charles Dickens'
David Copperfield . . . this polemical epic held me spellbound with its wisecracking Holden Caulfield-esque narration, its lyrical evocation of place, its humour, heart, pain and redemption. Unmissable. ― The Bookseller, Book of the Month

'A fantastic read. Beautifully written, harrowing, uplifting, a wonderful meaty , Dickensian book - with a protagonist you want to love like a child' -- Emily Maitlis

'What an astonishing and enduring talent.' -- Jo Browning Wroe

'An angry, powerful book seething with love and outrage for a community too often stereotyped or ignored.' ―
Kirkus Reviews

I am a long-time fan of Barbara Kingsolver's writing but I was really blown away by
Demon Copperhead - without a doubt the best book I'll read this year. And next year too, probably. -- Kate Atkinson
