The dry heart

The dry heart / Natalia Ginzburg, 88 pgs.

The first page reveals a murder and the remaining pages talk about why...while not really talking about why.  Suffice it to say it isn't the happiest of marriages.  But the writing is subtle as it reveals disappointment, rage, and sadness so deep it can only lead to the shot.  The plot is simple and the story is short but the writing is sweet.
