Demon Copperhead By: Barbara Kingsolver

This is Kingsolver's version of David Copperfield.  It's been updated and set in the Appalachian South.  Unfortunately, I found it entirely too long; some parts not credible; the voice of the protagonist kept changing from childlike to adult within chapters which took me out of the story; and it was relentlessly depressing.  Dickens was never this bleak!
