The Gravedigger's Daughter
One of my book groups read The Gravedigger's Daughter by Joyce Carol Oates for our May meeting. I
had read and reviewed the book in March 2008, so please refer back to that blog for the long version of my review. Suffice to say, it is still a great book! To read it five years later and be able to discuss it with others was a joy...and a lively discussion we did have! I thought it was interesting that when I reviewed it five years ago, I ended with saying that I would probably go back and read this book again...sure glad that I did. She is an amazing writer...I have read several of her books and have never been disappointed. I still highly recommend it! It ended up being a Finalist for the 2008 National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction.

I'm a fan of JCO, but I feel like I've been put through the wringer every time I finish one of her novels. It's like I can feel my veins popping out and my eyes are wild. I suppose that's a testament to her evocative writing.
I agree...her books do put you through the wringer, but I also think that it is a testament to her great writing!
