6/4/2023 0 Comments Bone Gap by Laura Ruby![]() ![]() ![]() A haunting and inventive work that subverts expectations at every turn. Ruby raises incisive questions about feminine beauty, identity, and power (Finn's new girlfriend, Petey, is marginalized for not being pretty, while Roza is harassed and abused by men who desire her) in a story full of subtle magic that is not compelled to provide concrete explanations. Through a complex interweaving of chapters, mostly told from Finn and Roza's points of view, Ruby (Bad Apple) slowly reveals that what actually happened to the beautiful Polish immigrant is more complicated than Finn even knew, and that his own disability, which only becomes clear to readers late in the novel, will make it difficult for him to find her. In Laura Ruby’s intense mystery, reality and fantasy blur into something magical and terrifying. However, his vague description of the man who took her leaves just about everyone in the small town of Bone Gap including his older brother, Sean, who is in love with Roza without much faith in his story. In a story that blends realism with dreamlike imagery and echoes of myth, Finn is the only witness to the kidnapping of 19-year-old Roza.
