Scorpio Books Spotlight | Demon Copperfield, by Barbara Kingsolver
RDU Breakfast 25 June 2024
Renata spotlights a very niche retelling today!
Author Barbara Kingsolver gives Mark Twain’s David Copperfield a 90s, rural-Appalachian makeover, called Demon Copperfield.
With heavy themes of poverty and drug abuse, some might steer clear of this book. But as Renata explains, this book is surprisingly balanced and not necessarily as depressing as one might think.
