Books Review: The Gravedigger's Daughter

While on a recent vacation, I had the opportunity to revisit one of my favorite authors, Joyce Carol Oates while reading her 2007 novel The Gravedigger's Daughter.

A lot of readers do not like the intensity of her writing, but I find that quality to be the most engaging. I cannot leave the story while I am in it. I am anchored in the character, actions and scenery.

The Gravedigger's Daughter was not an easy read and definitely as disturbing as her writing can be. But definitely a good read.
