Of His Bones surpassed my very high expectations. It’s a glorious, melodic, haunting and beautiful book, exploring themes of family, choice, destiny and love. While the language was so exquisite I longed to read slowly, the page-turning plot had me steaming ahead. The characters are gorgeously painted, pulsating and real.
– Louise Beech, author of The Lion Tamer who Lost
Brimming with heartbreak and tragedy this is such a compelling read. You can’t help but become involved with the characters lives and immersed in the realism of it all. Poignant and wistful, I ended the book feeling better for having known these characters and their complex stories. Tracey shows us that life doesn’t have to be perfect to be filled with beautiful moments, and this is why I am drawn to her novels.
– Honey Bee, Goodreads Reviewer

Ms. Townsend has crafted a lovely tale here that will fully immerse you. The author has done a fine job of creating a cast of characters that are as multi-faceted as every human being with both good qualities and bad. There is no down-time in this novel. The writing is crisply and richly detailed.
