商品簡介
A glittering, gritty, and unflinching story of five families living along one block in New Orleans, a city on the verge of transformation, from the author of Pretty Little Dirty.
The summer of 2004: Orchid Street is changing. Newcomers arrive from the Midwest, a teenager returns from juvenile detention. Longtime residents peer out their windows, watching their strange new neighbors. But with one random accident, a scene of horror across front lawns, the whole neighborhood converges on the sidewalk. Told in five achingly real voices, Babylon Rolling is the story of a year on Orchid, where lives collide and the humid air is charged with constant wanting.
