Love and Shame and Love Review

Lisa Dusenbery bio ↓  ·  September 27th, 2011  ·  filed under books

Publisher’s Weekly reviews our November Book Club pick, Love and Shame and Love, by Peter Orner (whose Rumpus column you can read here).

“Two themes—sometimes comic, often rueful—intersect throughout: the secret shames, frustrations, and humiliations that each character endures, and the search for love that blossoms and then fails in each generation. A richly layered, intimate picture of a distinctive but also typical family enduring life’s vicissitudes and stoically carrying on.”
