Slow building, but fantastic deep dive into "dysfunctional" relationship between Jack Ward and "V" (Vassilia) in 40s California. Told with different perspectives (a little frustrating as we don't see the end story for some interesting characters - Ben, among others) the story builds as a tale of pained lust, obsession, perverse jealousy of 2 characters that just can't seem to get away from each other (but probably should). I love how it raked over the coals of this jealous pain so carefully - a full picture. ( ) Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

It begins on Death Row, with a condemned man refusing the services of the lawyer assigned to defend him. It begins with a beautiful woman dead, murdered - Vassilia Caroline Baird, known to all simply as V. That's where this extraordinary novel begins. But the story it tells begins years earlier, on a struggling farm in the shadow of the Great Depression and among the brawling "cat skinners" of Southern California, driving graders and bulldozers to tame the American West. And the story that unfolds, in the masterful hands of acclaimed author Oakley Hall, is a lyrical outpouring of hunger and grief, of jealousy and corruption, of raw sexual yearning and the tragedy of the destroyed lives it leaves in its wake. Unpublished for more than half a century, So Many Doors is Hall's masterpiece, an excoriating vision of human nature at its most brutal, and one of the most powerful books you will ever read.
