A review by mendelbot
Clock Without Hands by Carson McCullers

5.0

Another great novel by a great writer. She has once again created characters that are at once grotesque and perfectly human in their hopes and failures. Like "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter," this novel is tinged with heartbreak that never wallows in sentimentality. The only reservation, and really it's so piddling it hardly warrants mentioning, is that the novel is too short. At times the storytelling feels rushed and some of the incidents are not fully fleshed out. But who cares? It's still a great book.
