Historical
"Someday they'll go down together / they'll bury them side by side. / To few itโll be grief / To the law a relief / But itโs death for Bonnie and Clyde.โ The story of Americaโs most infamous crime spree told in the raw and honest voice of the woman who lived it, Bonnie Parker. Texas: 1931. Bonnie Parkerโs dreams of the limelight and a white picket fence are on hold. Sheโs a waitress in Dallas, endlessly writing letters to the governor pleading for the release of the man she loves: a reckless, quick-smiling boy named Clyde Barrow, sentenced to fourteen years at the notorious Eastham prison farm. When Clyde is paroled early, Bonnie thinks their life is about to really begin. But Clyde has changed in prison. Distant, damaged, and dogged by the cops, he knows itโs only a matter of time before the law tries to lock him up again. Thatโs not something he or Bonnie can bear. When heโs fired from his jobโand now breaking paroleโhe decides to make a run for it. Leave Texas. Get enough cash to make a fresh start in a new state. And, of course, he wants his beloved Bonnie to come with him. Itโs just one stolen car. One robbed bank. Then, they can have the life they always wanted. Or so they think, as they set out. Unflinching and yet deeply empathetic, Jenni L. Walshโs Side by Side tells the story of America's most iconic outlaws.
