Fiction

Thanks for mentioning "Demon Copperhead". Putting it on my book wishlist. Kingsolver is a terrific storyteller, and uses innovative literary devices to move you through the story.

For those not familiar with her book, The Poisonwood Bible, it's about a family of missionaries in 1960s Congo at the time it was seeking its independence. Told mostly through the eyes of the four children, it mixes details of life in an African village for these transplanted American children, the ill-conceived mission activities of the father, and geopolitical events surrounding the assassination of Patrice LaMumba, with the support of the CIA.

I'm becoming a superfan of her work.
