Dorothy Allison: Cavedweller (1998)
English language
Published 1998
Cavedweller is the second novel from author Dorothy Allison. Much like her award-winning novel, Bastard Out of Carolina, Cavedweller deals with domestic violence, friendship among women, mother–daughter bonds, and poverty in the small-town American South. Although the point of view shifts throughout the novel, the story is told primarily from the perspective of Delia Byrd.
