Crimes of the Heart by Beth Henley

  • Diverse cast of characters? No
This did not age well. I enjoy reading Pulitzer Prize winners, but there were a lot of main points I felt were problematic - especially the fact that Babe's "relationship" is statutory rape, and that's not even addressing the racism. I can't speak for how it was originally received, but it's not for me in 2025. 
However I do absolutely support that she shot her husband.
