The Bone People
The Bone People

Genre: Literature & Fiction

Helpful Score: 1


Takes a bit to get into this novel, written from the viewpoint of its three main characters with the odd ancestor or first cousin thrown in, but it's most rewarding.
Jumping from instant-replay scenes to gaps of months' time, from slapstick to mystic, adds to the fullness. A book you will not forget.
