Russell鈥檚 lavishly imagined and spectacularly crafted first novel sprang from a story in her highly praised collection, St. Lucy鈥檚 Home for Girls Raised by Wolves (2006). Swamplandia! is a shabby tourist attraction deep in the Everglades, owned by the Bigtree clan of alligator wrestlers. When Hilola, their star performer, dies, her husband and children lose their moorings, and Swamplandia! itself is endangered as audiences dwindle. The Chief leaves. Brother Kiwi, 17, sneaks off to work at the World of Darkness, a new mainland amusement park featuring the 鈥渞ings of hell.鈥?Otherworldly sister Osceola, 16, vanishes after falling in love with the ghost of a young man who died while working for the ill-fated Dredge and Fill Campaign in the 1930s. It鈥檚 up to Ava, 13, to find her sister, and her odyssey to the Underworld is mythic, spellbinding, and terrifying. Russell鈥檚 powers reside in her profound knowledge of the great imperiled swamp, from its alligators and insects, floating orchids and invasive 鈥渟trangler鈥?melaleuca trees to the tragic history of its massacred indigenous people and wildlife. Ravishing, elegiac, funny, and brilliantly inquisitive, Russell鈥檚 archetypal swamp saga tells a mystical yet rooted tale of three innocents who come of age through trials of water, fire, and air.
