About this ebook

Revenge is a compelling and psychologically complex story of female friendship, art, and life. When a young painter moves next door to a world class novelist with writer's block, the two women become entwined in a novel described by Michael Cunningham as "compelling and darkly beautiful . . . Never less than gripping, Revenge builds to the realm of the genuinely revelatory."

    Wow. This is the second book I've read by Mary Morris. I loved both books for completely different reasons. The Waiting Room had such different tone than this one and I am impressed that the same writer could bring out such strong yet diverse emotions in me. This was one of those books I just couldn't put down. I related to the narrator in ways that made me very uncomfortable through much of the book, I'm curious if others who didn't relate to her felt the same unease. I was constantly questioning the sanity of the narrator but really she was just human... I can't wait to read some more of Ms. Morris' work!

    Not to be confused with Mary McGarthy Morris, Marry Morris has written about 12 books but this is the first one I have read. It is very competently written and I did enjoy the story, a tale of obssession and recovery.
