A review by sushai
A Widow's Story by Joyce Carol Oates

4.0

So effectively heart rending you can imagine it's happening to you. I tried to avoid the book while also feeling compelled to finish it. I did expect as I read on that I'd get a sense of the "light at the end of the tunnel", which never happened, although there was a hint at the end of the book that she'd met someone new? And then remarried within a year. Something tells me there's a whole other book in that.

I am a huge fan of JCO and was glad to get a glimpse of her real self in this.
