A masterpiece in storytelling from the global bestselling author of Unsheltered and Flight Behaviour. WINNER OF 2023 WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTIONTHE MULTI-MILLION COPY SELLING AUTHOR BOOK AT BEDTIME ON BBC RADIO 4 AN OPRAH BOOK CLUB PICK WITH OVER 22,000 5* REVIEWS 'Extraordinary.' OPRAH 'She means to save us by telling us stories. . . She comes closer than anyone else I know.' ANN PATCHETT 'Electrifying. . . Every sentence here sizzles.' Daily Mail 'It's EPIC. Righteously angry, DEEPLY moving and exquisitely written.' MARIAN KEYES 'A powerful tale.' Good Housekeeping 'A fantastic read.' EMILY MAITLIS 'A masterclass.' RICHARD POWERS ____________ Demon Copperhead is a once-in-a-generation novel that breaks and mends your heart in the way only the best fiction can. Demon's story begins with his traumatic birth to a single mother in a single-wide trailer, looking 'like a little blue prizefighter.' For the life ahead of him he would need all of that fighting spirit, along with buckets of charm, a quick wit, and some unexpected talents, legal and otherwise. In the southern Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, poverty isn't an idea, it's as natural as the grass grows. For a generation growing up in this world, at the heart of the modern opioid crisis, addiction isn't an abstraction, it's neighbours, parents, and friends. 'Family' could mean love, or reluctant foster care. For Demon, born on the wrong side of luck, the affection and safety he craves is as remote as the ocean he dreams of seeing one day. The wonder is in how far he's willing to travel to try and get there. Suffused with truth, anger and compassion, Demon Copperhead is an epic tale of love, loss and everything in between. 'Legit about to get an 'I'd rather be reading Demon Copperhead' sticker for my Nissan Murano.' ROB DELANEY

Holding the Line, Barbara Kingsolver's first non-fiction book, is the story of women's lives transformed by an a signal event. Set in the small mining towns of Arizona, it is part oral history and part social criticism, exploring the process of empowerment which occurs when people work together as a community. Like Kingsolver's award-winning novels, Holding the Line is a beautifully written book grounded on the strength of its characters. Hundreds of families held the line in the 1983 strike against Phelps Dodge Copper in Arizona. After more than a year the strikers lost their union certification, but the battle permanently altered the social order in these small, predominantly Hispanic mining towns. At the time the strike began, many women said they couldn't leave the house without their husband's permission. Yet, when injunctions barred union men from picketing, their wives and daughters turned out for the daily picket lines. When the strike dragged on and men left to seek jobs elsewhere, women continued to picket, organize support, and defend their rights even when the towns were occupied by the National Guard. "Nothing can ever be the same as it was before," said Diane McCormick of the Morenci Miners Women's Auxiliary. "Look at us. At the beginning of this strike, we were just a bunch of ladies."

Before becoming the bestselling author we know today, Barbara Kingsolver was a fresh college graduate who had just moved to Tucson, Arizona with hopes of open space and adventure. What she found was quite different, "another America" that she chronicled through her poetry, in which she came to share her home with refugees and committed to paper their tragic stories of life at and beyond the borderland. Interweaving past political events from the US-backed dictatorships in El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Guatemala, to the government surveillance carried out in the Reagan years, Kingsolver's early poetry expands into a broader examination of the racism, discrimination, and troubled immigration system she lived beside. They coalesce in a record of her emerging adulthood, in which she confronts the realization that the national myth of America she'd signed on to was a hypocrisy -- a realization that would come to shape her not only as an artist, but as a citizen.Written with a balance of clarity regarding America's shortcomings and empathy for her subjects, Another America is a luminous book of poems, a deeply moving and beautifully crafted exploration of American society and our individual place within it. As in her fiction, Kingsolver's poetry rings with a richness of language and spirit, eloquently expressing her insights with great compassion.With a new introduction from Kingsolver that reflects on the current border crisis, Another America is a striking portrait of a country separated by those with privilege, those without, and the lives that are lived in between.

Med Demon Copperhead har Barbara Kingsolver skrevet en moderne klassiker. Romanen vant både den høythengende Pulitzer-prisen 2023 og Women's Prize for Fiction 2023, og har ligget over 1 år på toppen av New York Times bestselgerliste. I fjellene i det sørlige Appalachia vokser Demon Copperhead opp under svært trange kår. Han er født til verden av en enslig tenåringsmor i en enkel husvogn, uten andre fordeler i livet enn sin avdøde fars pene trekk og kobberrøde hår, besk humor og en ekstrem evne til å overleve. Demon er nådeløs når han forteller om fosterhjem, barnearbeid, forsømte skoler, sportslig suksess, rusavhengighet, katastrofal kjærlighet og knusende tap. Demon Copperhead er en roman om kjærlighet og behovet for kjærlighet, om drømmer og sinne, hat og smerte. Fullstendig opprivende, men likevel oppløftende og fylt av håp.

LAKUNEN er historien om Harrison William Shepherd, en uforglemmelig person fanget mellom Mexicos varme hjerte og 50-tallets politisk korrekte og kalde USA. Harrison søker tilflukt i hjemmet til kunstnerparet Diego Rivera og Frida Kahlo, hvor han blir ansatt som kjøkkenhjelp og senere som kokk, og et livslangt vennskap mellom ham og Kahlo begynner å utvikle seg. Romanens handling spenner fra en liten øy i Mexico i 1929, til USA under andre verdenskrig og kommunistjakten på 50-tallet, tilbake til havet utenfor Mexico City. Politiske hendelser og personlige tragedier trer fram gjennom dagboknotater og avisutklipp. Dette er en gripende historie om jakten på identitet, om lojalitet til en spesiell mor og om hvordan falske anklager kan knuse uskyldige mennesker. Romanen er en bestselger i USA og England. Kingsolver's gripende beskrivelse av livet i Mexico City flommer over av detaljer som vil gi deg følelsen av å være der. Tykke søte brød, sprudlende malte vegger, de nydelige, hvite føttene til en uoppnåelig kvinne. The New Yorker

Damon Fields bliver født på badeværelsesgulvet i en trailerpark i det sydvestlige Virginia i slutningen af 1980'erne. Hans enlige teenagemor har rustet sig til at føde med en blanding af alkohol og stoffer. Mens hun ryger ind og ud af afvænningsklinikker, ryger Damon, der snart får kælenavnet Demon, ind og ud af systemet og diverse plejefamilier. Da han får en knæskade, truer misbrugsmønstret med at gentage sig, og han får brug for sin kampgejst, sin charme, sin humor og sin ukuelige overlevelsesevne for at kunne klare det liv, der venter ham. Demon Copperhead er en medrivende dannelsesroman, der strækker sig fra 1980’erne til i dag. Det er en episk fortælling om kærlighed, tab og alt derimellem, og en gribende beretning om det fattige udkants-USA, hvor opioiderne flyder frit, og hver dag er en kamp for overlevelse. ”Måske den bedste roman i 2022. Lige dele morsom og hjerteskærende. Det er fortællingen om en ukuelig dreng, som ingen vil have, men som læserne vil elske.” Washington Post Denne bog er oversat af Rasmus Hastrup

"Romanen sjuder av ömhet och hjärtskärande sorg" Göteborgs-PostenDemon Copperhead kommer till världen på ett badrumsgolv i en husvagn. Hans artonåriga mamma ligger utslagen av droger och är knappt vid medvetande. Så börjar Demon sitt liv, redan på förhand dömd till en tillvaro kantad av fosterhemsplaceringar, utsatthet och missbruk.I Lee County, Virginia, i Appalachernas sydliga delar växer Demon upp. Här är fattigdomen lika självklar som luften man andas och här marknadsför läkemedelsindustrin skoningslöst sina opioider mot de redan utsatta. Missbruket växer till en epidemi som slår hårt mot hela samhället.Utan några andra tillgångar än sitt kopparfärgade hår, sin krassa humor och sin starka överlevnadsinstinkt, tar sig Demon Copperhead igenom barndomen och ungdomsåren. Han bärs av drömmen som hållit honom uppe ända sedan han var liten: att en dag få se havet. Frågan är vad som krävs för att den ska bli sann.Demon Copperhead är en storslagen och drabbande roman om kärlek, förlust och allt däremellan. Den är också en skoningslös blick på det samhälle som än i dag tillåter de allra svagaste att gå under.Vinnare av Pulitzerpriset 2023"måste-läsning om att vara människa som berör på djupet och bär på både hopp och medmänsklighet."
