From the New York Times bestselling author of Unsheltered and Flight Behavior, a brilliant novel which enthralls, compels, and captures the heart as it evokes a young hero’s unforgettable journey to maturity.“Kingsolver is a writer who can help us understand and navigate the chaos of these times.” ―Minneapolis Star Tribune“Anyone will tell you the born of this world are marked from the get-out, win or lose.”Demon Copperhead is set in the mountains of southern Appalachia.

Republication With P.S.New York Times Bestselling Author“Extraordinarily fine. Kingsolver has a Chekhovian tenderness toward her characters. . . . The title story is pure poetry.”―Russell Banks, New York Times Book ReviewThis rich and emotionally resonant collection of twelve stories spans a variety of landscapes from northern California to the hills of eastern Kentucky and the Caribbean island of St. Lucia.
