Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward, 289 pages.
I remember reading Salvage the Bones a couple of times and thinking what a great, sad book it was. We had discussed this book, and I enjoyed that too. This year's Christmas present book, though it's not really a celebration.
With the ghosts of children sacrificed to avoid greater horror, and the memory and repitition, Ward channels and echoes Toni Morrison in this great tragedy. Award winning and awesome.
