Young Hearts Crying by Richard Yates

Young Hearts Crying by Richard Yates

Young, newly married and intensely ambitious, Michael Davenport is trying to make a living as a writer. His adoring wife, Lucy, has a private fortune that he won't touch in case it compromises his art. She in turn is never quite certain of what is expected of her. All she knows is that everyone else seems, somehow, happier. In this magnificent novel, at once bitterly sad and achingly funny, Richard Yates again shows himself to be the supreme chronicler of the American Dream and its casualties.

A wonderful writer with a merciless eye * Time Out *
Bad couples, sad, sour marriages, young hopes corroded by suburban life.. These are bitterly perceptive books * New Statesman *
Yates is a truthful and ruthless writer. He intends to spare his readers nothing * Guardian *
