Description
Rope & Bone traces the parallel, and eventually interwoven, lives of two very different women whose courage, originality and humor will carry them through the darkest of times and the toughest things that life can sling at them. Rope & Bone's thirty-four story/chapters span the years from 1946 to 1993. The novel opens in 1984 on Chicken Farm Road when Del Merrick, an art teacher living without plumbing or electricity, enlists help in changing a flat tire from Carla Morletti, a member of the Pagan Biker's auxiliary, now studying for her G.E.D. This chance connection between these two women will reroute their lives and the lives of their children. The first section of the novel, "Wildest Dreams," flashes back to pivotal moments in the past. Part 2, "Castanets," tells of Carla and Del's misadventures as they try to raise their kids, get their old cars started on subzero mornings, and put in enough wood to get through until April- at the same time they're testing their theory: a good man's hard to find. In Part 3, "Shelter," Carla and Del's friendship darkens as their children's lives become more chaotic.
