The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter
by Carson McCullers
John Singer is a deaf mute who links the lives of four misfits like spokes to the center of a wheel. His calming understanding fills different needs for each of the sad characters.
This is not a book to be taken lightly or read on a whim. It hurts to read at times and paints a bleak picture of injustice, loneliness, and poverty yet also reveals that love and labor are the true meaning for living.
