Ambientada en las monta�as del sur de los Apalaches, Demon Copperhead es la historia de un muchacho nacido de una madre soltera adolescente en una caravana, sin m�s patrimonio que el buen aspecto y el pelo cobrizo de su difunto padre, un ingenio c�ustico y un feroz talento para la supervivencia. Relatado con su propia voz, Demon se enfrenta a los peligros modernos de los hogares de acogida, el trabajo infantil, las escuelas en ruinas, el �xito deportivo, la adicci�n, los amores desastrosos y las p�rdidas aplastantes. A trav�s de todo ello, se enfrenta a su propia invisibilidad en una cultura popular en la que incluso los superh�roes han abandonado a los pueblos rurales en favor de las ciudades. Hace muchas generaciones, Charles Dickens escribi� David Copperfield a partir de su experiencia como superviviente de la pobreza institucional y sus da�os en los ni�os de su sociedad. Esos problemas a�n no se han resuelto en la nuestra. Dickens no es un requisito indispensable para los lectores de esta novela, pero le sirvi� de inspiraci�n. Al trasladar una novela �pica victoriana al Sur de Estados Unidos contempor�neo, Barbara Kingsolver recurre a la ira y la compasi�n de Dickens y, sobre todo, a su fe en el poder transformador de una buena historia.
