The Heart is a Lonely Hunter

‘We read books to know we are not alone.'
-William Nicholson

I love this book and I love it's characters; a bunch of misfits in whom I glimpsed pieces of myself.

Beautifully written, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter is a story about alienation, about finding one's place in a world that seems to be made of a totally different material than one is made of, and about the longing for something, or someone, to make one feel listened to, feel seen, accepted, and loved.

It's a book you certainly have to come back to.

Carson McCullers is now on my radar and this will become one of my comfort books and one of my favourites.
