New York, NY: Simon & Schuster (January 16, 2018)

Paperback, reissue.

As new.

The first novel from Jesmyn Ward -- National Book Award winner and author of Sing, Unburied, Sing -- is a timeless Southern fable of brotherly love and familial conflict.

Where the Line Bleeds is Jesmyn Ward's gorgeous first novel and the first of three novels set in Bois Sauvage -- followed by Salvage the Bones and Sing, Unburied, Sing -- comprising a loose trilogy about small town southern family life.

This novel deftly explores the bond between twins Joshua and Christophe as they come of age and their love for each other is tested by poverty, addiction, and oppression. As Junot Diaz has said, Ward is a "beast" at writing great male characters.
