5.0
The stories in Beautiful, Violent Things are alive, visceral and raw, not just in the blunt emotional honesty of their narrators—women who know what they want, who feel the twisted pull of the lives they have and the ones they've given up to be mothers and lovers—but in the prose, so very warm with poetry and song. Anthes is a writer who understands how to make the quiet moments in life roar.
