Winter's Bone

"The lineage from Faulkner to Woodrell
runs as deep and true as an Ozark stream in
this book. . .his most profound and haunting
yet."—Los Angeles Times Book Review

"Sometimes brutal, sometimes mordantly funny, sometimes surprisingly sweet . . .I just didn't want WINTER'S BONE to
end."—St. Louis Post Dispatch

"Woodrell's Old Testament prose and blunt vision have a chilly timelessness that suggests this novel will speak to readers as long as there are readers."—New York Times Book Review

"Daniel Woodrell has produced another stunner, a bleak, beautifully told story about the inescapable bonds of land and blood--fiction at its finest."—Kansas City Star

"Heroines this inspiring don't come along often. When they do, they deserve our attention."—People

"The plot of WINTER'S BONE is uncomplicated, yet it packs a kind of biblical, Old West, Cormac McCarthy wallop--hard and deep."—Cleveland Plain Dealer

"A courageous, audacious, resourceful 16-year-old girl destined to enter the pantheon of literature's heroines."—Donald Harrington, Atlanta Journal Constitution
