| Details: |
When Michael, an L.A. artist, commits suicide it brings together two utterly unalike women: Michael's severe and dominating concert-pianist mother and his punk girlfriend. As in her pitch-perfect WHITE OLEANDER, Janet Fitch weaves dark and intricate spider-web relationships between her characters, with each strand adding to the novel's delicious complexity. Everyone here is damaged, in some cases irreparably, but their feverish humanity burns on the page, and hope flickers beneath the darkness. |
