Gulfs -- not just water but of relationships and more,
By
This review is from: The Gulf (Hardcover)
Isaac Roth, running away from grief after the death of his beloved wife, moves to a small Texas town on the Gulf of Mexico. David Hodges returns from Vietnam, scarred by the war. David's brother, Peter, returns from Canada, where he fled to escape the draft. Kate Riley has waited for David for four years and now she expects him to marry her so they can live happily ever after.Witman, Texas is the sleepy little Gulf coast town where these characters all come together, with Vietnamese fishermen who come to ply their trade in the already depresses fishing industry. The gulfs in this story are far more than a body of water. There are gulfs between city life and small town life, between humans in relationships, between cruelty in society and in the cruelties in war. This is a story of long, manipulation, of bitter emotion and senseless violence. It is also a painfully accurate portrayal of the human condition. It will hold your attention. It may hurt your heart. |
