Beekley Book Club: Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
Join us for this month’s Beekley Book Club as we discuss Demon Copperhead, the powerful, bestselling novel from acclaimed author Barbara Kingsolver: recipient of the National Book Foundation’s Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

Set in the rugged mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead follows the unforgettable journey of a boy born into poverty and instability. With only his quick wit, striking red hair, and fierce will to survive, Demon faces the harsh realities of foster care, addiction, lost love, and a society that often overlooks the rural poor. Told in his raw, compelling voice, his story echoes the classic themes of Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield, reimagined for today’s America.

This richly layered novel speaks to resilience, injustice, and the enduring power of storytelling. You don’t need to be familiar with Dickens to be deeply moved by Demon’s journey—just bring an open heart and a love of thought-provoking literature.

📖 Reserve your copy through your patron account or call the library at 860-379-7235.
