An exorcism of Phelan family demons by means of an artistic rendering of a family exorcism. Kennedy brings us through the generations of Phelans - a family filled with its share of difficult times and dysfunctional relationships. In the end there is a path to move forward, though certainly not totally secured. The Albany series as a whole is very well done, with interesting characters that the reader cares about. Sadly, all good things must come to an end. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
For William Kennedy fans, Albany conjures up a tapestry of great beauty and complexity in which the lives of an Irish American family are woven. Earlier Albany novels, including Ironweed, a Pulitzer Prize-winner, whetted our appetites. Now Very Old Bones treats us to one last look at the odd and turbulent Phelans, circa 1958. Stretching the boundaries of life as the Phelans know it, this powerful work flows back and forth in time, riding on the melody of its language. Its great theme is the promise of redemption for those who seek it. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Like IRONWEED, this is what I would call a highly literary 'potboiler,' and I loved it. Very, very highly recommended.
