The Heart in Winter                     

     

by Kevin Barry

Doubleday/PRH


    A love story, profanely beautiful, sad, humorous. Irish/Deadwood/Shakespeare in Butte Montana in 1891. Every word is precise, precious, heartbreaking and often very funny. Barry puts together sentences that you have to read over again for the delight of them. This is a classic.
