Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward

Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward

WINNER OF THE 2011 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD

Fresh and urgent * New York Times *
Masterful.. A palpable sense of desire and sorrow animates every page ... Salvage the Bones has the aura of a classic about it * Washington Post *
A brilliantly pacy adventure story ... Ward writes like a dream. A real dream: uneasy, vivid and deep as the sea * The Times *
Beautifully written ... A powerful depiction of grinding poverty, where somehow, amid the deprivation, the flame of filial affection survives and a genuine spirit of community is able to triumph over everything the system and nature can throw at it * Daily Mail *
There’s something of Faulkner to Ward’s grand diction * Guardian *
