Late to the party and the millionth person to say this, but oh my lord, Demon Copperhead is a masterpiece

I finished it last night and was absolutely enraptured the whole time. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve read a book that was so moving and important but also such a delight and just so *enjoyable* to be reading. Even the parts that were wrenching or hard were beautiful. The way she plays with language and perspective was breathtaking.

I kicked it down my Libby queue and kept on hitting “deliver later” for about two months because I was coming off of some long and intensive books and didn’t feel like getting into another, but it completely hooked me from the first.

Now to read the original — I just downloaded David Copperfield.
