Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver

This beautiful novel has haunted my ever since I started reading it. The writing is amazing - and yet I found I had to keep putting it down, walk away, and think about it before moving on. The characters (and there are so many of them) are real to me. I wanted to get into my car, drive to Lee County, Virginia, scoop up all the hungry children and bring them home with me. Much has been written about this Pulitzer Prize winner, so I don't need to give a summary of the plot - which would take pages - but it is truly one of the best books I've ever read. I don't even want to start another book now. I just want to keep thinking about this one. - June
