(an excerpt from Aditya Mukherjee’s book Political Economy of Colonial and Post-Colonial India)

Barbara Kingsolver's DEMON COPPERHEAD is beyond brilliant. The Poisonwood Bible has been my gold standard for years but I think she's surpassed it with Demon Copperhead. We have a substantial excerpt on BookBrowse if you'd like to see for yourself bookbrowse.com/excerpts/index.
