#ReadSoulLit Day 7 - Fave Secondary Character There are several important relationships in ‘Salvage the Bones’ and each one examines a different kind of love but my favorite was Skeetah’s love for his dog China. A beautifully written book yet bleak as you meet a poverty stricken family living in rural Mississippi preparing for the arrival of Hurricane Katrina. I’ve said on numerous occasions that no one writes pain as exquisite as Jesmyn Ward. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ . . . #spinesvines #books #wine #diversespines #photochallenge #salvagethebones #jesmynward #blackhistorymonth #nationalbook #awardwinner #nbawards
