An unplanned pregnancy brings two families of different social classes together in Brooklyn in Jacqueline Woodson’s latest novel, Red at the Bone. The book is Woodson’s second novel for adults, though she is also the acclaimed author of many titles for children and young adults in addition to being a National Book Award-winning memoirist. “Woodson’s nuanced voice evokes the complexities of race, class, religion, and sexuality in fluid prose and a series of telling details. This is a wise, powerful, and compassionate novel,” praises Publishers Weekly in a starred review. (Out September 17, 2019)
