5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating journey into the unconscious world
"The Daughters of Necessity" is a fascinating journey into the unconscious world of love and hatred. These two emotions seem to be opposite but exist very close under our unconsciousness. Peter Feibleman draws the fuzzy world very well in a sophisticated and beautiful way with European scent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating journey into the unconscious world, January 6, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Daughters of Necessity (Voices of the South) (Paperback)
"The Daughters of Necessity" is a fascinating journey into the unconscious world of love and hatred. These two emotions seem to be opposite but exist very close under our unconsciousness. Peter Feibleman draws the fuzzy world very well in a sophisticated and beautiful way with European scent.

How can we get out of no-exit-chaos between love and burden, when we feel a kind of heavy burden from the love "between Father and Daughter" or "between Mother and Son"? No one has an exact answer to this question but we can feel something from the ending of this novel.

This review is from: The Daughters of Necessity (Voices of the South) (Paperback)
This book shows it true colors in the end -Southrn Gothic. The daughters in question are cartoon like creations- the dark one-seemingly passionate and full of vice. Even as the author allows us to empathize with her, she is the charicature. The light one- an angel. the dark one speaks in Cruella Deville type cadences and the light one mutters statements- that are never more than two words. The twist- "Good is really not so good.".If there is artistry in this book, it is in the author's brooding descriptions, but even these become overwrought.
