Joyce Carol Oates

Writer of "We Were the Mulvaneys", which became a best-selling novel after being selected by Oprah's Book Club. Isn't she pretty?

My apologies. I think I might have expressed some negativism about the story in my previous post. I just realized that the theme, the plot, and the background of the story fit its purpose, as it reminds us that even the most perfect of families or person could be challenged and are vulnerable to failure. Something like Chinua Achebe's "Things fall apart". Brilliant work, really. Looking forward to reading your other novels:)
