The last time Ree saw her father he didn't bring food or money but promised he'd be back soon with a 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. One cold winter's day, Ree discovers that her father has put up their house as bail and that it'll be sold from under them if he doesn't show up for his trial. She knows she needs to find her father to save her family but in a culture riven with secrecy and paranoia her questions are unwelcome and the answers painful. As Ree faces violence and a strange kind of loyalty she learns about courage and resilience. This is a startingly vivid portrait of tough people and the unforgiving landscape they inhabit.
'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
Daniel Woodrell is the author of several novels including WOE TO LIVE ON, which was filmed as Ride with the Devil, directed by Ang Lee and starring Toby Maguire. His family have lived in the Ozarks since the Civil War.
