The bones stay by Aaliyah green
The Bones Stay is a short-story collection of five independently-imagined tales twined together by magic, consequences, and the influence of three root-working sisters. Between a cursed fortune, a cul-de-sac where jealousy bakes a fateful pie, and the horror of eternity, there is a common thread: fear, love, and the absence of love. Any wish can be a poison, and the family tree has eyes.
Here, Green honors the tradition of Zora Neale Hurston by steeping each story with African-American lore and complex female characters. The event horizon of terror and hope builds a home in the pages ofThe Bones Stay… and that home looks like an old house in the woods, either inhabited by three sisters or haunted by them. (Isabel J. Wallace)
