Salvage The Bones - Softcover

Críticas

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)
