“Compelling, authentic, and immensely satisfying. Bone Worship is full of wonderfully drawn characters, especially Jasmine’s awkward, gruff father. Recommended for readers who enjoy immigrant family dramas, such as Monica Ali’s Brick Lane and Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake.” – Library Journal

—Sherwood Anderson, from "Death in the Woods"
