Joyce Carol Oates can write, that’s for sure; the book is filled with vivid descriptions of both the time and place, as the characters are shown as human beings in every sense of the term – flawed and desperate, as well as loving and tender. There were chunks of the book I skimmed, as subplots about boxing didn’t hold my attention, but other images that really gripped me – I loved the way Enid’s sensuality was dealt with so honestly and with all the passion she was feeling, despite the warped circumstances.
You Must Remember This by Joyce Carol Oates - #21 on 'The List'.
I give it 2 iPods out of 5 iPods and not recommend it widely.
