The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers

Splendid book about isolation and the inability to communicate. McCullers is a true Southern writer, reminding me of Harper Lee. Her characters are complex and intriguing, as they reach for a sympathetic heart to understand them. Each cares about something that never satisifies them. A very human novel!
