Title: The Angst and the Pity
Review: I enjoyed this reading this novel. While it's not up to Stone's best works like A Flag for Sunrise and Dog Soldiers, the story gripped me.I believed the characters, even if I didn't like or understand their motivations.The basic conceit of the novel, that one can be so enthralled by another that one throws one's life away, unfolds around us daily.The voodoo ceremonies were terrifying. I was reading the book at the beach during a storm at night. It so effected me that I didn't want to walk my dog in the dark.I've given this book to friends to read and they've hated it. Many reviewers on this board didn't like it. But I thought Bay of Souls was a memorable read.
