Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. It’s a modern retelling by of David Copperfield that takes place in modern day rural Appalachia. It won the Pulitzer. Barbara Kingsolver is from there originally and wanted to write something that did justice to the sadness and despair of the region. I literally cried several times. It’s hard, but soooo worth it. A true masterpiece, but also not hard to read.
