Barbara Kingsolver, 2022

Date read: 10/31/23


This novel is wow. She says it was inspired by David Copperfield which I've not read (it's on the List) but standing alone it is incredible. She speaks as a young man with a consistent voice throughout. You really feel like someone is just sharing their story.


As someone who is disabled with chronic pain, I am unfortunately very familiar with opioids and the opioid crisis. Thankfully I was able to stop before I got to the points described in this novel, but I definately was at a crossroads where a few choices would have lead me down a very bad path.


I feel like this is one of the best novels I've ever read.
