Book Review: A Circle of 5 Stars
In a small town in Minnesota, a man commits suicide, leaving a guilt-ridden wife, a 6 yr. old daughter and a mentally ill son. The story is told alternately by the widow, Claire, and the 2 children.This year, I suffered my own center of winter. I wondered if I should be reading this story at this time of my life.
But start it I did and I found I could not stop reading. I cared about the characters, I wanted to know how they found their way out of their circle of grief.
The back cover promises that "you will be ultimately inspired" - and I was.
I will be getting a copy of Marya Hornbacher's first book, "Wasted".
Summary of The Center of Winter: A Novel (P.S.)
The luminous first novel by Marya Hornbacher, the acclaimed author of Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia, is a moving and passionate story of a death from despair -- and a stricken family's passage through grief toward the hope, solace, and understanding that waits for them somewhere beyond the center of winter.
