Description
Gun Love by Jennifer Clement is a haunting and poetic novel that explores the painful consequences of America's love affair with firearms. Told from the perspective of a sharp-eyed teenager, this story exposes the darker side of family, community and violence. Life on the edge of a trailer park is already strange enough, but when a mysterious figure brings change to the lives of those living in poverty, Pearl's world is upended. A gift from this stranger forces her mother Margot to confront the harsh realities of their existence, and Pearl must find a way to escape the confines of her broken-down car. This novel is one of those rare books that will leave you wanting more, with a fully realised world that draws you in and refuses to let go.
