[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a wonderful book, but it is consistently dark until the very end. As far as plot goes, if you've read David Copperfield you can see what's coming; that can be helpful. Like David Copperfield it brings up important, uncomfortable issues that affect the lives of impoverished women and children, but Kingsolver writes so well that I couldn't stop reading. [/quote]

I agree. I also agree with others that this much depressing is hard to take, and I almost quit at the point where everything just keeps getting worse (so, a lot of points). I’m glad I pushed through and very glad with the ending she’s written. I’m trying to recall which was tougher - A Little Life or this one. I know I didn’t consider giving up on A Little Life. 
Definitely ready for some light hearted easy reads now. [/quote]

I have Demon Copperhead on my nightstand to read after my current book, but now you are making me pause. I couldn’t  get past about 30% of A Little Life. It is beautifully written, but so overwhelmingly sad that I would cry every time I picked it up. Finally put it away. dC is going to be even harder than that? [/quote]
