Junior (the youngest brother) cannot do much, while Skeetah is too busy taking care of his pit bull fighter, China and get her back to health, after the birth of her puppies. Her brother Randall is trying to help and starts the process. Her father is an alcoholic (as is the case in most of these books), who is concerned about the hurricane and wants to get his children to board up windows and ensure that there are enough canned goods in the house. The book is brutal at times and that is what makes it as charming as any other book.įourteen-year-old Esch, who has just found out that she’s pregnant, is trying to keep things from falling apart in her family, as they learn that their home town Bois Savage, Mississippi is going to be hit by the Hurricane Katrina. The reader is not expected to end it with a warm, fuzzy feeling in his or her heart. Each character is alive as ever to be put on paper. I read it in a day and wanted more of it as I knew the novel was ending. Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward is a brilliant read.
