Sobre este artículo
New York: Dutton, 1992. First edition, first printing. Published by Dutton in New York, 1992. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper is bright and mostly clean throughout. It has not been price clipped. The boards, in quarter white cloth and grey paper, are free from notable chips and marks and the titling is bright. The text blocks are bright and white throughout. There is a small previous owners inscription to the half title in black ink, dated to the year of publication. Overall, this is a near fine copy overall. Semi-autobiographical in nature, the book is set in Allison's hometown of Greenville, South Carolina in the 1950s. Narrated by Ruth Anne "Bone" Boatwright, the primary conflict occurs between Bone and her mother's husband, Glen Waddell.
Sinopsis
Greenville County, South Carolina, a wild, lush place, is home to the Boatwright family—rough-hewn men who drink hard and shoot up each other's trucks, and indomitable women who marry young and age all too quickly. At the heart of this astonishing novel is Ruth Anne Boatwright, known simply as Bone, a South Carolina bastard with an annotated birth certificate to tell the tale. Observing everything with the mercilessly keen eye of a child, Bone finds herself caught in a family triangle that will test the loyalty of her mother, Anney. Her stepfather, Daddy Glen, calls Bone "cold as death, mean as a snake, and twice as twisty," yet Anney needs Glen. At first gentle with Bone, Daddy Glen becomes steadily colder and more furious—until their final, harrowing encounter, from which there can be no turning back.
