American novelist Barbara Kingsolver won the prestigious Women’s Prize for Fiction Wednesday with “Demon Copperhead,” the Dickens-inspired tale of a boy's struggle against the odds in a corner of America scarred by opioid addiction. Kingsolver, 68, also won the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for fiction for the novel, which transplants Charles Dickens’ “David Copperfield” to modern-day southwest Virginia, where the author lives. It was a second victory for Kingsolver, who previously won the Women’s Prize in 2010 for “The Lacuna.”
