Red at the bone

£8.99

Brooklyn, 2001. It is the evening of 16-year-old Melody’s coming of age ceremony in her grandparents’ brownstone. Watched lovingly by her relatives and friends, making her entrance to the music of Prince, she wears a special custom-made dress – the very same dress that was sewn for a different wearer, Melody’s mother, for a celebration that ultimately never took place. Unfurling the history of Melody’s parents and grandparents – from the 1921 Tulsa massacre to post 9/11 New York – ‘Red at the Bone’ explores sexual desire, identity, class and the life-altering facts of parenthood, as it looks at the ways in which young people must so often make long-lasting decisions about their lives – even before they have begun to figure out who they are and what they want to be.
