Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
Daniel Woodrell's modern classic is an unforgettable tale of desperation and courage that inspired the award-winning film starring Jennifer Lawrence.
Ree Dolly's father has skipped bail on charges that he ran a crystal meth lab, and the Dollys will lose their house if he doesn't show up for his next court date. With two young brothers depending on her, 16-year-old Ree knows she has to bring her father back, dead or alive. Living in the harsh poverty of the Ozarks, Ree learns quickly that asking questions of the rough Dolly clan can be a fatal mistake. But, as an unsettling revelation lurks, Ree discovers unforeseen depths in herself and in a family network that protects its own at any cost.
"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

“The ozarks itself essentially feels like a character of its own in this book, but maybe that’s my bias having grown up in the ozarks. A very interesting plot and resolution with fascinating characters. Some parts felt a little slow but the book isn’t all that long, so I didn’t find it hard to get through. I genuinely enjoyed it but not quite as much as I loved Tomato Red by Daniel Woodrell.”Astrid Jakobsson

“I usually enjoy coming-of-age novels, but this one, unfortunately, just wasn’t for me. I think the darkness and heaviness of the book was just too much for me. That said, I have to say that I really did appreciate the writing - the prose was quite impressive. I can see why some people view this as a classic.”
