reviewed on + 120 more book reviews


Harrowing and riveting read. "Bastard Out of Carolina" is narrated by young Ruth Ann Boatwright aka: Bone. We see the world through her eyes - a world that is poor, where the women all age too soon and her stepfather who's a cruel and evil man, Daddy Glenn. Bone does her best to stay out of the way but always seems to end up right in the eye of the storm when it comes to Daddy Glenn.
