Eine Geschichte von weiblicher Gemeinschaft und Macht. Ein Fest der Erzählfreude, der Erfindungskraft und des Intellekts. Das neue Meisterwerk von Lauren Groff. Marie ist siebzehn Jahre alt, groß und ungelenk und nach allgemeiner Ansicht ungeeignet für die Ehe und das höfische Leben. Sie verehrt ihre Königin, Eleanore von Aquitanien, doch die verstößt sie mit einem Lächeln: Marie soll Priorin eines abgelegenen Klosters werden, irgendwo im Schlamme Englands, fern von den zärtlichen Zuwendungen ihrer Dienerin.

Ein Trailer in den Wäldern Virginias. Das Land der Tabakfarmer und Schwarzbrenner, der "Hillbilly-Cadillac"-Stoßstangenaufkleber an rostigen Pickups, aufgegeben von sämtlichen Superhelden und dem Rest der Nation. Hier kommt Demon Copperhead zur Welt – die Mutter ist noch ein Teenie und frisch auf Entzug, der Vater tot. Ein Junge mit kupferroten Haaren, großer Klappe und einem zähen Überlebenswillen, trotz allem, was das Leben für ihn bereithält: Armut, Pflegefamilien, Drogensucht, erste Liebe und unermesslicher Verlust. Es ist seine Geschichte, erzählt in seinen Worten, unbekümmert, vorwitzig, von übersprudelnder Lebenskraft.
