Book Club: Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver

Join us for a discussion of Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver, winner of the 2023 Pulitzer Prize.  In person only; Moderated by Toni DeVito

Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenage single mother in a single-wide trailer in the mountains of southern Appalachia, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. In a plot that never pauses for breath, relayed in his own unsparing voice, he braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses. Through all of it, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities.

The Trinity Book Club meets on the last Sunday of every month. No need to finish the books... but (spoiler alert!) we will discuss the endings. Join us!
