Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward
WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD
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 *
Masterful... Salvage the Bones has the aura of a classic about it * Washington Post *
A brilliantly pacy adventure-story as the family battles to escape the rising tide. The pages fly past with heart-stopping intensity... Ward writes like a dream. A real dream: uneasy, vivid and deep as the sea * The Times *
The novel's hugeness of heart and fierceness of family grip hold on like Skeetah's pit bull * Oprah Magazine *
