Big As Life Is Just That
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
A new book by Maureen Howard is always a treat. To those of us who have read her earlier works, her newest book "Big As Life" seems to reach an even higher level of perception and vivid explication. Few contemporary novelists write with her artistic beauty and sureness of touch. She sees deeply into individuals without losing sight of the big picture- sin and redemption, pain and exhaltation,innocence and experience. You will love and learn from Marie Claude, feel with and for Nell, admire Audubon's artistic pursuit and marvel at his wife Lucy's perseverance. New readers of Howard will be in for a startling treat. Her scenes, characters and plot have long shelf life.
