Reviews
Strikingly beautiful, taut, relentless and, by its end, indelible . . . Ward stares down the truth . . . It's astonishingly brave., Salvage the Bones is an intense book, with powerful, direct prose that dips into poetic metaphor . . . the story is told with such immediacy and openness . . . That close-knit familial relationship is vivid and compelling, drawn with complexities and detail., Jesmyn Ward has claimed her place both as a contemporary witness of life in the rural South and as a descendent of its great originals... The voice is lyric, unsparing and fierce. You won't forget this book., Ward tells the story with a tense patience, marking day after day; when the storm comes, overturning everything, it feels like a fatal relief. At least the waiting's over. Salvage the Bones expands our understanding of Katrina's devastation, beyond the pictures of choked rooftops in New Orleans and toward the washed-out, feral landscapes elsewhere along the coast., Salvage the Bones is an engaging novel that, on the surface, seems like a sorrowful tale of a broken household, yet holds beneath it the cherished story of family and loyalty., A pitch-perfect account of struggle and community in the rural South... Though the characters in Salvage the Bones face down Hurricane Katrina, the story isn't really about the storm. It's about people facing challenges, and how they band together to overcome adversity., Salvage the Bones is a novel that will make readers wince at times and tear up at others. Ward gives voice to the forgotten families of the Gulf Coast through lyrical imagery and the type of uncensored authenticity that can only be delivered through the eyes of a child... it is a true testament to the realities of rural poverty., The novel's power comes from the dread of the approaching storm and a pair of violent climaxes. The first is a dog fight, an appalling spectacle given emotional depth by Skeetah's love for the pit bull China (their bond is the strongest and most affecting in the book). When the hurricane strikes, Ms. Ward endows it, too, with attributes maternal and savage: 'Katrina is the mother we will remember until the next mother with large merciless hands, committed to blood, comes.', "[A] poetic second novel.... [main character] Esch traces in the minutiae of every moment of every scene of her life the thin lines between passion and violence, love and hate, life and death...her voice...[gives] its cast of small lives a huge resonance." Publishers Weekly " Salvage the Bones is a novel that will make readers wince at times and tear up at others. Ward gives voice to the forgotten families of the Gulf Coast through lyrical imagery and the type of uncensored authenticity that can only be delivered through the eyes of a child... it is a true testament to the realities of rural poverty. Once the storm hits, you'll find yourself tearing through the book and finishing it with a better sense of Katrina's impact." Bust "This second novel delivers on and expands the promise of Where the Line Bleeds ; Jesmyn Ward has claimed her place both as a contemporary witness of life in the rural south and as a descendant of its great originals. This memorable clan deals with the threat and then the actuality of Hurricane Katrina in much the way that Faulkner's folk once dealt with fire and flood; the voice here is lyric, unsparing, and fierce. You won't forget this book." Nicholas Delbanco, author of Sherbrookes & Lastingness: The Art of Old Age "With Salvage the Bones , Jesmyn Ward has written the best sort of novela beautiful, important book that's both unflinching and tender, heartbreaking and triumphant. A lyrical and riveting testament to the strength of the human spirit, as well as the power of family and community. Ward's paragraphs are like songs, lifting us even as the authenticity of this world and these characters keeps the ground in clear sight. This is an extraordinary book by an extraordinary writer." Skip Horack, author of The Southern Cross and The Eden Hunter "Jesmyn Ward writes like an angel with a knife to your throat, compelling you with exquisite language and a clear voice to go where she goes, to see what she sees. Salvage the Bones is at turns unsettling and uplifting raw and honest as a dog fight, lyrical as a poem. It cuts through the cliches about poverty to arrive at a place of shocking recognition, that at the end of the day love and loyalty to family are all that sustain us." Ken Wells, author of Meely LaBauve, There's something of Faulkner to Ward's grand diction, which rolls between teenspeak . . . and the larger, incantatory rhythms of myth. She's fearless about her passion coming out purple, and for the most part the intensity of her story carries it off., Salvage the Bones ...is uncompromising and frank, showing both beauty and violence, poverty and resilience, in a powerful and poetic voice., Ward uses fearless, toughly lyrical language to convey this family's close-knit tenderness [and] the sheer bloody-minded difficulty of rural African American life... It's an eye-opening heartbreaker that ends in hope... You owe it to yourself to read this book., From its lyrical yet visceral first scene, this novel had me, and I hardly dared to put it down for fear a spell might be broken. But it never was or will be, such are the gifts of this writer., Few works of fiction can capture the heart-wrenching emotions attached to a natural disaster, and fewer still can do it in a way that seems palpable and fresh. Salvage the Bones , the latest by rising star Jesmyn Ward, accomplishes this feat, and then some.... From beginning to end, Jesmyn flirts with perfection in this stunning second novel, and the reader is rewarded for it., Deeply felt and bristling with breathtaking imagery, Salvage the Bones will hold its readers utterly riveted to the very last page., Jesmyn Ward has written... the first Katrina-drenched fiction I'd press upon readers now... Ward's pacing around the hurricane is exquisite--we nearly forget its impending savagery. The Batistes' shared sacrifice is moving, made more so by their occasional shirking of sacrifice. Ward allows the letdowns integral to family life to play their part., "The novel's hugeness of heart and fierceness of family grip and hold on like [a] pit bull."- O: The Oprah Magazine "[A] poetic second novel…. [main character] Esch traces in the minutiae of every moment of every scene of her life the thin lines between passion and violence, love and hate, life and death…her voice…[gives] its cast of small lives a huge resonance."- Publishers Weekly " Salvage the Bones is a novel that will make readers wince at times and tear up at others.

It's an eye-opening heartbreaker that ends in hope. Highly recommended; you owe it to yourself to read this book." - Library Journal "[A] poetic second novel….

Jesmyn Ward makes beautiful music, plays deftly with her reader's expectations." - Parul Sehgal, New York Times Book Review "Ward tells the story with a tense patience, marking day after day; when the storm comes, overturning everything, it feels like a fatal relief.

[a] fiercely poetic novel . . . What makes the novel so powerful, though, is the way Ward winds private passions with that menace gathering force out in the Gulf of Mexico . . . Without a hint of pretension, in the simple lives of these poor people living among chickens and abandoned cars, she evokes the tenacious love and desperation of classical tragedy . . . A palpable sense of desire and sorrow animates every page here . . .
