Review
'This Grace Jones lookalike with a degree in French is a splendid creation' Sunday Telegraph 'Jazz addicts have a treat in store with Rhode Island Red, a book so filled with affection for the form that Charlie Parker seems almost to be another character... It is refreshing to find a heroine who has both a rock-solid moral center and a sense of humor' Donna Leon
Product Description
An American love story cast in deepest noir. It?s the story of a black woman named Nettie who comes to New York to be a model but grows too big and ends up as a designer. Like Chester Himes? The End of a Primitive, Walking Bones is an American tragedy that unpicks the sexuality of racism and the strange contradictions of sexual power. Urban and precise yet oddly dreamlike, Walking Bones, like the blues, reflects big city life in the US today.
