Where the Line Bleeds - Grand Format

The first novel from two-time National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward, Where the Line Bleeds is a timeless Southern fable of brotherly love and familial conflict. Joshua and Christophe are twins, raised by a blind grandmother and a large extended family in a rural town on Mississippi's Gulf Coast. Over the course of a single, life-changing summer, as they struggle to find work and contend with the reappearance of their parents — Cille, who left town for a better job, and Sandman, a dangerous addict — the brothers are forced into a series of decisions that will ultimately damn or save them.

A delicate and closely observed portrait of fraternal love and strife and the bonds that can sustain and torment us, Where the Line Bleeds marks the beginning of Jesmyn Ward's extraordinary career in fiction.
