Product Description

An opera diva with a drink problem, a street lawyer who has forgotten how to love, converge at the heart of the shadowy network of streets below Chicago's glittering high rises where a homeless visionary silently challenges the whole idea of the city and its management.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and fast moving., 6 Aug 1999
By A Customer
If you thought you would miss V I Warshawski in this departure from Sara Paretsky's crime stories, Don't worry! The Chicago streets are familiar from her previous work and the stories interwoven together into a powerful picture are of an opera Diva, a Doctor, a young,angry,rich girl and the homeless women living rough, all influenced by themysterious Starr an aphasic woman with strange powers. Read and enjoy this gripping story as I did.

1.0 out of 5 stars disappointing new departure, 1 Dec 1999
By evankleu@wxs.nl (the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
If this is a new departure for Paretsky, I find it a disappointing one. The story is as flat and non-gripping as can be. I find it hard to imagine that this is by the same author as all those gripping crime novels! I read it through hoping the story would take off at some stage but it never did. I found the story totally unconvincing and the character were very much made of cardboard. Stereotyping everywhere. None of them ever came to life, and then that idiotic wall and the person with the enormous breasts, totally weird! Sorry, all I can say is: read her other books!
