Acton reviewed Bellefleur by Joyce Carol Oates
Review of 'Bellefleur' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I enjoyed this book tremendously. It's a Gothic tale and a family saga that may put one in mind of Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude: in both tales, reality must be suspended, time skips around, and the endings are similiar. However, Bellefleur is written in a completely different style, and its scope is larger. The characters are intensely real. It's a sensational book!
