Summary

The last time Ree saw her father, he didn’t bring food or money, but promised he’d be back soon with a paper sack of cash and a truckload of delights. Since he left, she’s had to look after her mother (sedated and losing her looks) and her two younger brothers. Ree hopes the boys won’t turn out like the others in the Ozark mountains – hard and mean before they’ve learnt to shave.

One cold winter’s day, Ree discovers that her father has put up their house as bail and that it’ll be sold…

Critics Review

‘Woodrell throws down sentences that will leave you amazed.’

It brings us all the satisfactions of crime thriller and mystery…The beauty lies in the loveable and wholly believable character of Ree - Guardian

A suspicion grows that you are reading the sort of book D.B.C Pierre’s Vernon God Little might have been, had it been five times as keenly observed and deeply felt - The Times

Woodrell is a marvellous writer - Roddy Doyle

Woodrell throws down sentences that will leave you amazed. - Charles Frazier

Reading this will make you feel that you walk on very, very thin ice, and know that chaos is very, very close. Such knowledge has many consequences, one of them is exhilaration. - Niall Griffiths, Observer

Brutal, violent and completely gripping - Independent on Sunday
