Powerful, painful and moving
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Barker surpases herself with this novel. This novel never reiceived as much acclaim as her price winning REGENERATION trilogy, and, to some extent, I agree the trilogy is more erudite than this gem called UNION STREET, but in terms of human feelings, this novel by far surpasses most of the books I have ever read. It very powerful moving. Barker shows a lot of feeling. Beware though, this book is very painful. I just had to put it aside on a couple of occasions. If you like it, try BLOW YOUR HOUSE DOWN, also by Barker.
