Highly recommended if you like Charles Dickens or even if you don't. Basically a retelling of David Copperfield still talking about poverty and social injustice but transplanted to the late 20th century in the context of the USA opioid crisis and the marginalisation of the people of the Appalachians (dismissed as hillbillies and rednecks). Absolutely superbly done.
I am half way through The Poisonwood Bible. I have to admit I am struggling with it though. Very cleverly written though & I won’t give up as it’s strangely compelling but not everyone’s cup of tea though amazing reviews! That weird unbending father!,
