5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful prose,
By MOVIE MAVEN (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mrs. Reinhardt and Other Stories (Paperback)
This is the first book of Edna O'Brien's that I've read. She is now, obviously, the flavor of the month, so I thought I'd take this book off my shelves where it has been gathering dust for years. Obviously, O'Brien is influenced by James Joyce, but her poetic language is all her own and beautiful it is. One of the stories, though, actually put me in mind of William Faulkner, another writer who can delve mysteriously into the hearts of his characters. All these stories are heartbreaking and charmingly funny and all too real. The characters are living, breathing human beings. I recommend this book highly and hope it is back in print very soon.
