Description

"The Road to the City" and "The Dry Heart." Each is narrated by a young woman who is in some way betrayed by, or the betrayer of, romantic love. In her inimitable, spare, and understated style, Ginzburg manages to express extraordinary passions, disappointments, and truths of the heart. With a masterful understanding of the human, and particularly female, psyche, Ginzburg turns her meticulous and understated tales into rich, funny, profound, and psychologically gripping landscapes of the human heart.
