With Your Crooked Heart
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
WITH YOUR CROOKED HEART is a journey into the feeling and lives of three exrtremely different people whose insides are torn and compelling. The book should be read and then the reader can go backwards and read TALKING TO THE DEAD. These two books are written by the most intelligent, decisive, and informative female author that exists today. It will be difficult to put either of these books down, so make certain you allow enough time to "get away" and delve into a strange and heartwrenching world.
Totally compelling
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Once I got past the rather slow opeing chapters, I could not put this book down. It is beautifully written and interestingly constructed. Chapters are written alternately from the perspective of each main character and yet flow together nicely, providing an intimate portrait of the inner feelings of each character. The book is as painful as it is compelling. Each adult character is very human and flawed in some tragic way and events play out accordingly. Everyone wishes that everyone else were different, and then everything would be all right. Wishing doesn't make it so, however, and the plot continues relentlessly to its tragic conclusion. Dunsmore is a wizard with language. She has an incredible talent for making you feel that you've lived inside the heads of her characters. She can paint pcitures with words so vivid, they are almost cinematic. I definitely recommend this book!
