Claire Booker

The Bone that Sang

'The Bone That Sang explores what it means to be human in an imperfect world. A refugee sprints for his life. An at-risk child craves a baby. A one night stand goes hilariously wrong. A beloved mother-in-law takes a final spiritual journey. Booker’s voice is sharply original, full of stunning imagery and verbal surprises. Often packing a punch, she can also be tender, lyrical and witty. Here are stories of illuminating precision to inspire and challenge.
