Overview

The first novel from National Book Award winner and author of Sing, Unburied, Sing Jesmyn Ward, a timeless Southern fable of brotherly love and familial conflictā€”ā€œa lyrical yet clear-eyed portrait of a rural South and an African American reality that are rarely depictedā€ (The Boston Globe).

Where the Line Bleeds is Jesmyn Wardā€™s gorgeous first novel and the first of three novels set in Bois Sauvageā€”followed by Salvage the Bones and Sing, Unburied, Singā€”comprising a loose trilogy about small town sourthern family life. Described as ā€œstarkly beautifulā€ (Publishers Weekly, starred review), ā€œfearlessā€ (Essence), and ā€œemotionally honestā€ (The Dallas Morning News), it was a finalist for the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award and the Virginia Commonwealth University Cabell First Novelist Award.

Joshua and Christophe are twins, raised by a blind grandmother and a large extended family in rural Bois Sauvage, on Mississippiā€™s Gulf Coast. Theyā€™ve just finished high school and need to find jobs, but after Katrina, itā€™s not easy. Joshua gets work on the docks, but Christopheā€™s not so lucky and starts to sell drugs. Christopheā€™s downward spiral is accelerated first by crack, then by the reappearance of the twinsā€™ parents: Cille, who left for a better job, and Sandman, a dangerous addict. Sandman taunts Christophe, eventually provoking a shocking confrontation that will ultimately damn or save both twins.

Where the Line Bleeds takes place over the course of a single, life-changing summer. It is a delicate and closely observed portrait of fraternal love and strife, of the relentless grind of poverty, of the toll of addiction on a family, and of the bonds that can sustain or torment us. Bois Sauvage, based on Wardā€™s own hometown, is a character in its own right, as stiflingly hot and as rich with history as it is bereft of opportunity. Wardā€™s ā€œlushly descriptive proseā€¦and her prodigious talent and fearless portrayal of a world too often overlookedā€ (Essence) make this novel an essential addition to her incredible body of work.
