Bone Gap Audiobook

Quotes

• “[Ruby] is capable of moving you to tears, terrifying you on deep and dreamlike levels, and making your heart shout with happiness.”

  — E. Lockhart, New York Times bestselling author

• “Lush and original…it’s a novel about actual changes in worldview, and all its science and myth and realism and magic are marshaled, finally, to answer crucial questions about empathy and difference and the ways we see the people we love.”

  — New York Times Book Review

• “In Ruby’s refined and delicately crafty hand, reality and fantasy don’t fall neatly into place. She compellingly muddles the two together right through to the end…Wonder, beauty, imperfection, cruelty, love, and pain are all inextricably linked but bewitchingly so.”

  — Booklist (starred review)

• “Told from the viewpoints of multiple Bone Gap citizens, this inventive modern fable whimsically combines elements of folklore, mythology, romance, and feminism…Refreshingly original.”

  — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

• “It is a rare book that sits comfortably on the shelf with the works of Twain, McCullers, Conroy, Stephen King, and D’Aulaires’ Greek Myths—rarer still that a novel combines elements of these authors together. Bone Gap does just this, to superb effect.”

  — School Library Journal

• “One part magical realism and two parts fantasy…The real magic in Bone Gap is the discovery of love, an idea many stories misrepresent but Bone Gap explores with the utmost honesty and truth.”

  — VOYA

• “A thoroughly unforgettable experience.”

  — Franny Billingsley, award-winning author of The Folk Keeper and Chime

• “With lyrical and often stunning prose, Laura Ruby delivers a magical love story and chilling thriller with a cast of characters both surprising and endearing. Bone Gap will haunt you.”

  — Steve Brezenoff, author of Brooklyn, Burning

• “Magical realism is a beloved subgenre, often difficult to pull off. Ruby’s latest excels at combining the everyday with the mystical, pulling you in and not letting go until the final, fantastical conclusion. Her characters are vivid and wonderful, her story a fable, but not. This one’s a winner.”
