Book review: The Storm at the Door: A Novel, Stefan Merrill Block
I got a review copy from LibraryThing.
It’s a fictionalized account of how his grandfather was committed to a mental hospital by his grandmother, given shock treatment, etc. I hated it. It's written in a wordy, dramatic style, with lots of heavy foreshadowing. Yes, the events in it are tragic, but it's just boring. Skimmed and got rid of it.
