Bone | Overview
Bone is the story of Leila, a young woman who relates her account of the suicide of her sister Ona and the family and society in which she grew up. The emphasis is on how three sisters' lives are shaped by the environment in which they come of age, as well as how they feel culturally out of sync— not quite Chinese, yet very Chinese, not quite American, yet the essence of America. The novel's appeal lies in its strong characterizations and its depiction of how cultural disorientation affects lives.
