Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Good. WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD 'A brilliantly pacy adventure story . Ward writes like a dream' THE TIMES ___________________________ Hurricane Katrina is building over the Gulf of Mexico, threatening the coastal town of Bois Sauvage, Mississippi, and Esch's father is growing concerned. He's a hard drinker, largely absent, and it isn't often he worries about the family. Esch and her three brothers are stockpiling food, but there isn't much to save. Lately, Esch can't keep down what food she gets; at fifteen, she has just realized that she's pregnant. Her brother Skeetah is sneaking scraps for his prized pit bull's new litter, dying one by one. Meanwhile, brothers Randall and Junior try to stake their claim in a family long on child's play and short on parenting. As the novel progresses through twelve dramatic days, this unforgettable family - motherless children sacrificing for one another as they can, protecting and nurturing where love is scarce - pulls itself up to face another day. ___________________________ 'Masterful . A palpable sense of desire and sorrow animates every page . Salvage the Bones has the aura of a classic about it' WASHINGTON POST '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.
