Owed to Joy

Owed to Joy

Are you getting your recommended daily allowance of serious women writers? If you haven't read Joy Williams, well, that’s just a crime. Breaking and Entering is a virtuosic novel that combines vivid, intricate characters, a compulsive, page-turning narrative and absolutely thrilling language. Did I mention the structural accomplishment that makes up for decades of loathsome flashbacks by lesser writers? Suffice it to say, the central conflict of this novel is not whether Manolo Blahniks and can be worn with a Fendi bag.
