Cavedweller
Cavedweller: A Novel | Dorothy Allison
4 posts | 7 read | 7 to read
When Delia Byrd packs up her old Datsun and her daughter Cissy and gets on the Santa Monica Freeway heading south and east, she is leaving everything she has known for ten years: the tinsel glitter of the rock 'n' roll world; her dreams of singing and songwriting; and a life lived on credit cards and whiskey with a man who made promises he couldn't keep. Delia Byrd is going back to Cayro, Georgia, to reclaim her life--and the two daughters she left behind... Told in the incantatory voice of one of America's most eloquent storytellers, Cavedweller is a sweeping novel of the human spirit, the lost and hidden recesses of the heart, and the place where violence and redemption intersect.

KathyWheeler This is one of my favorite books. When I finished it, I wasn‘t really ready to be out of that world yet. Welcome back to Litsy. 2y

I had my library volunteer shift last night, I have missed a couple 😫 but it felt good to get back at it tonight. I did manage to find something for myself. What a shocker! I loved Bastard Out Of Carolina so I am very excited about this one.

Scochrane26 I have been meaning to reread this one for awhile to see if I still want to keep it. It‘s been years since I read it. Read Bastard in grad school & still have it. 5y
