Title: Tears, again...
Product review: A couple of summers ago I decided to read all of the Pulitzer Prize winning books for fiction. I've read many of them now and I must say, this is only the second that has brought me to tears. (The first was Lonesome Dove - my very favorite and worth reading, even for those who doubt they'd like a "Western").McCarthy definitely makes the reader empathize with the characters, just as McMurty does. Being a mother of a young son, I think I was especially touched at the end. Even with this son (and a younger daughter) running around the house, I still finished the book in a day. I found myself just wanting to get to the end to see if there would be a glimmer of hope. I guess there was, but it was hard to look past the despair of the first 254 pages once I got to it. This book frightened me, but I can see why it won the prize. Very well written.
