Walking Bones by Charlotte Carter

Walking Bones by Charlotte Carter

An American love story cast in deepest noir. It?s the story of a black woman named Nettie who comes to New York to be a model but grows too big and ends up as a designer. Like Chester Himes? The End of a Primitive, Walking Bones is an American tragedy that unpicks the sexuality of racism and the strange contradictions of sexual power. Urban and precise yet oddly dreamlike, Walking Bones, like the blues, reflects big city life in the US today.

?A little gem from the author of the Nanette Hayes detective storiesThis is a standalone fable reminiscent of European erotic literature in content and delicacy of touch? The Bookseller ?It?s one of the most powerful novels I?ve read this year, and may linger on in the mind like Mark Behm?s The Eye of the Beholder...Hats off to a stupendously brave and true writer? Brian Case, Time Out ?This is a brave piece of writing... This absorbing book is about race, sex, power, friendship and loneliness? Waterstone?s Books Quarterly

Charlotte Carter has a lifelong love of crime fiction. She was born in the Midwest but now lives in New York City with her husband and cat.
