Crimes of the Heart ANNOTATION
"Mines a pure vein of Southern Gothic humor worthy of Eudora Welty and Flannery O'Connor" --New York Times Winner 1981 Pulitzer Prize for drama.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
The reunion of the McGrath sisters in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, is joyful but troubling. Lenny is still unmarried at 30, Meg is recovering from a failed singing career. Babe is out on bail for shooting her husband, and a young lawyer tries to keep her out of jail without falling in love with her. Beth Henley blends comedy and pathos in this Chekhovian story of the sometimes frayed edges of sisterly bonds.
