This was already a favorite by the second chapter, and it only got better from there. Demon, born in the heart of West Virginia's opioid crisis, grows up in the foster care system and searches for a place to call home. Kingsolver writes with such a strong character voice, you'll forget Demon isn't real.
A coming of age story, a father-daughter story, and a love letter to New York all wrapped up in one. Straub always does a phenomenal job approaching sensitive topics with humor and heart, and this novel is no exception. Fans of "The Midnight Library" and the movie "13 Going on 30" will enjoy!
A beautifully written family saga beginning in a war torn Cyprus and ending up in Britian. Written from multiple perspectives, including from the fig tree that ties the family together. Goregous soft prose and quick chapters will engross you in this story of love, loss, family, intergenerational trauma, culture, and healing.
