Ward is an attentive and precise writer who dazzles with natural and supernatural observations and lyrical details. On his grandfather’s gift for spinning yarns, Jojo reflects, “Hearing him tell them makes me feel like his voice is a hand he’s reached out to me, like he’s rubbing my back.” Ward’s narrative has a similar effect: It not only rubs your back, but also prickles the hairs on the nape of your neck. With Sing, Unburied, Sing, she continues telling tales we need to hear with rare clarity and power—stories of a world that “gives a little luck to the small, that sometimes shows a little mercy.”
