The Voice of Willie Morgan and Two Other Short Stories (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

These are three short stories by bestselling author Tom Winton. Listed as one of Amazon's "Most Popular Authors" in Mystery/Suspense/Thrillers and in Literary Fiction, all four of his full-length novels (Four Days with Hemingway's Ghost, Beyond Nostalgia, The Last American Martyr, and A Second Chance in Paradise) have been bestsellers. All three of the short stories in The Voice of Willie Morgan are filled with the emotion and drama that has become a trademark of Tom Winton's work. In each of them, he delves deep into the human condition. The title story, The Voice of Willie Morgan, is about a thirty-nine-year-old oil baron who is constantly at odds with himself. It is his job to continually lead big-oil to higher and higher profits, yet he's constantly lambasted by the words of his long-dead, blue-collar father for what his industry is doing to the planet and its inhabitants. Squandered Prayers is an embellished version of a single chapter from Winton's first bestseller, Beyond Nostalgia. It touches on a young, under-class son's struggle to deal with his mother's escalating mental illness. The third story, Movin' On, is a bestseller on Random House's Youwriteon community for writers. It's the story of a dysfunctional family's trip to Florida where they hope they will find enough sunshine to save the parents' failing marriage.
