A Widow's Story by Joyce Carol Oates 305.9 Oat

For me a great book is one in which the author really draws me in. I can feel what the characters are feeling - whether that be fear, suspicion, sadness or what ever other emotion. And Joyce Carol Oates has managed to do that. But she took me so far in that I had to stop. I know the sadness she feels is suffocating. I know that it is hard to function when you lose a loved one. I listened to about 8 out of the 14 hours of this audio book and then I just yelled 'uncle' - I wanted to scream at her to buck up. So that is all I am going to say about this book!
