A piece of my heart

Ford's mesmerizing first novel is the story of two godless pilgrims. Robard Hewes has driven across the country in the service of a destructive passion. Sam Newell is seeking the missing piece of himself. When these men converge, on an uncharted island in the Mississippi, each discovers the thing he's looking for--amid a conflagration of violence that's as shocking as it is inevitable. "This is one of those books that hit you hard...a story filled with breathing characters and genius-crafted dialogue between moments of consummate description.... I can't be unbiased. I'm mad for this book."--Elizabeth Ashton, Houston Chronicle From the Trade Paperback edition.

  • "Zwei Männer verschlägt es auf eine gottverlassene sumpfige Insel im Mississippi, die man auf keiner Landkarte finden kann - Robard Hewes auf den Spuren einer Frau und Sam Newel auf der Suche nach sich selbst. Die Insel ist an einen Eigenbrötler verpachtet, der sie seit Jahrzehnten mit seiner Ehefrau und einem schwarzen Hausangestellten bewohnt. Hewes und Newel werden in Ereignisse verwickelt, die sie wie einen unentrinnbaren bösen Traum erleben ... 'Ein Stück meines Herzens' ist eine Tour de Force durch den Süden der USA, ein Roman 'in der Tradition von Faulkner, Hemingway und Steinbeck' (The Times)."
