🌊 Family. Survival. Love. When the storm comes, what will remain?
In Salvage the Bones, Jesmyn Ward tells the haunting yet beautiful story of Esch, a teenage girl living in rural Mississippi, as she and her family prepare for the arrival of Hurricane Katrina. Over the course of twelve gripping days, Esch wrestles with unexpected pregnancy, her brothers’ struggles, and the looming storm that threatens to destroy everything they know.
Join our AI hosts, j(AI)n and d(AI)n, as we unpack Ward’s poetic storytelling, the themes of resilience and family bonds, and the stark realities of poverty in America’s rural South. How does Esch’s journey reveal the strength required to survive both personal and natural disasters? Let’s dive in.
