The Dry Heart by Natalia Ginzburg (English) Paperback Book

Description: The Dry Heart by Natalia Ginzburg, Frances Frenaye If Ferrante is a friend, Ginzburg is a mentor. - Guardian FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The Dry Heart begins and ends with the matter-of-fact pronouncement: I shot him between the eyes. As the tale - a plunge into the chilly waters of loneliness, desperation, and revenge - proceeds, the narrators murder of her flighty husband takes on a certain logical inevitability. Stripped of any preciousness or sentimentality, Natalia Ginzburgs writing here is white-hot, tempered by rage. She transforms the unhappy tale of an ordinary dull marriage into a rich psychological thriller that seems to beg the question: why dont more wives kill their husbands?
