"Channeling the lyrical phantasmagoria of early Toni Morrison and the sexual and racial brutality of the 20th century east Texas, Cynthia Bond has created a moving and indelible portrait of a fallen woman... Bond traffics in extremely difficult subjects with a grace and bigheartedness that makes for an accomplished, enthralling read." --Thomas Chatterton Williams, San Francisco Chronicle
"A beautifully wrought ghost story, a love story, a survival story...[A] wonderful debut." --Angela Flournoy, Los Angeles Review of Books
"Hauntingly beautiful... Bond wrote Ruby to bear witness for the girls who can't escape the torture. And to encourage the girls who do to believe that even after such dark experiences, there can be light"--NPR
"Compelling and vital." --People
"Reading Cynthia Bond's Ruby, you can't help but feel that one day this book will be considered a staple of our literature, a classic. Lush, deep, momentous, much like the people and landscape it describes, Ruby enchants not just with its powerful tale of lifelong quests and unrelenting love, but also with its exquisite language. It is a treasure of a book, one you won't soon forget."--Edwidge Danticat, author of Claire of the Sea Light
"Pure magic. Every line gleams with vigor and sound and beauty. Ruby somehow manages to contain the darkness of racial conflict and cruelty, the persistence of memory, the physical darkness of the piney woods and strange elemental forces, and weld it together with bright seams of love, loyalty, friendship, laced with the petty comedies of small-town lives. Slow tragedies, sudden light. This stunning debut delivers and delivers and delivers."--Janet Fitch, author of White Oleander "Ruby is a harrowing, hallucinatory novel, a love story and a ghost story about one woman's attempt to escape the legacy of violence in a small southern town. Cynthia Bond writes with a dazzling poetry that's part William Faulkner, part Toni Morrison, yet entirely her own. Ruby is encircled by shadows, but incandescent with light."--Anthony Marra, author of A Constellation of Vital Phenomena "From the first sentence, Cynthia Bond's unforgettable debut novel, Ruby, took hold of me and it hasn't let go. Cynthia Bond has written a book everyone should read, about the power of love to overcome even the darkest of histories."--Amy Greene, author of Bloodroot
"Bond proves to be a powerful literary force, a writer whose unflinching yet lyrical prose is reminiscent of Toni Morrison's." --O, The Oprah Magazine
"A testament to the power of the human spirit." --Bustle
"Exquisite, juxtaposing horrific imagery with dreamy evocative lyricism."
--Lambda Literary
"A fierce and poetic tale."--The Chronicle Herald (CA)
"Many will compare Ruby to the work of Toni Morrison or Zora Neale Hurston...It may be most apt to compare Bond to Gabriel García Márquez. Ruby is woven with magical realism...Luminous."--The Guardian (UK)
"Impeccably crafted... Ruby is undoubtedly the early work of a master storyteller whose literary lyricism is nothing short of pitch perfect." --BookPage
"[A] daring, lushly written debut...Bond rightly insists that these stories must be heard. .. Readers can take heart as they see Ruby and Ephram stand up to brutality and small-mindedness, finding courage and thus a freedom that can never be taken from them. In their actions, they capture Bond's own heartfelt hope: 'If there is a message in my book, it's that we will always rise.'"--Library Journal
"Bracing....Undeniable....The echoes of Alice Walker and Toni Morrison are clear....A very strong first novel that blends tough realism with the appealing strangeness of a fever dream." --Kirkus
