Oates is a master of family drama. This book will break your heart again and again. It is the story of a beautiful single mom whose husband is on the run. This leaves her to fend for herself and her daughter. Ingrid is the beautiful, sensitive daughter who is the product of this unstable home life. This story leads you unerringly to her downfall but ultimately, to her redemption. The happy ending is hard won through her tragic life. Excellent read!
This is a disturbing story, I think Joyce Carol Oates fans will appreciate it.
This book is not what you would expect from Joyce Carol Oates. It is a little dark-sided. If you are looking for a different kind of read, this is it. It is not the love story the title makes it seem to be, she means "man crazy" in a very different way.
