In the Bedroom
I followed Gail’s recent recommendation and bought this book. Though I had seen (and very much enjoyed) the movie based on one of stories in the book, I didn’t even realize that it was based on a short story. Nor have I often read anything with the power and lyricism of these stories. There is incredible richness contained in this slim volume. Go and buy it, or get it from the library. And Gail is right: you won’t be the same. And that’s a good thing.
