NPR says this book also "reads like poetry and drama." The story itself revolves around five characters of two families spanning three generations.
This style results in a short novel of about 200 pages. According to Joshunda Sanders of Time magazine, "Woodson evokes black formalism, a post-Reconstruction movement meant to highlight black dignity through dress, style and traditions performed beyond the white gaze." And, Woodson employs a minimalist writing style, believing fewer words with emotional impact best serves the story. The story has some interesting elements as noted by reviewers. Red at the Bone is an coming of age novel written by Jacqueline Woodson and originally published by Riverhead Books in 2019.
