Title: Shattering story
Review: A PRAYER FOR THE DYING is possibly the most emotionally-shattering novel I've ever read. O'Nan knows the way to quickly lure the reader into the lives of his characters and then skewer you with trauma. In this one, Yellow Fever strikes down a small midwest town shortly after the civil war had ended and we watch as its preacher/sheriff goes mad from his ineffectualism and heartbreak. Love it or hate it, this is one novel you'll never forget.
