Jennifer Smith asked this question about
Red at the Bone:
Can someone help me with the timeline, because I'm confused and it's bugging me? Melody's party is when she is 16 and Aubrey and Po'boy are alive. Later we find out both subsequently die- In Sabe's last chapter she says that this was 5 yrs ago. In the last chapter, after Sabe's funeral, it is implied that Melody and Malcolm are both just leaving for college for 1st time but for this would make them at least 21-22?
