The book choice this month is Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver, who received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2023. The Pulitzer site says: "A masterful recasting of ‘David Copperfield,’ narrated by an Appalachian boy whose wise, unwavering voice relates his encounters with poverty, addiction, institutional failures and moral collapse–and his efforts to conquer them." Alice T., who selected the book, notes “The book may sometimes feel daunting and sad, but the 546 pages are quite readable and read fast. Demon's narration is quite engaging and his struggles are real. Barbara Kingsolver was raised in rural Kentucky, so she knows the people.” You can order the book from amazon.fr for 16€ for the paperback and 11€ for kindle (both offered in English). You can also order from amazon.uk the kindle edition for 5.99£.
Venue: The Montpellier English Library at 23 Rue Lakanal in Beaux Arts.
