My heart laid bare

Sinopse

My Heart Laid Bare is a striking departure for Joyce Carol Oates: a sweeping epic novel of the fortunes and misfortunes of a family of enterprising confidence artists in 19th-century America. Mythic in scope, it is Oates's most daring work yet - a stunning tale of crime and transgression, and of a mysterious and tragic woman whose secret history resonates from one century to another - with profound moral consequences.
