In this attractive, enormously affecting novel, Joyce Carol Oates tells the storyline of two completely different yet intimately linked American families. Luther Dunphy can be an ardent Evangelical who envisions himself as behaving out God's will when he assassinates an abortion professional in his small Ohio town while Augustus Voorhees, the idealistic doctor who is killed, results in a partner and children scarred and embittered by grief. In her moving, insightful family portrait, Joyce Carol Oates totally inhabits the perspectives of two interwoven families whose destinies are identified by their warring convictions and squarely - but with great empathy - confronts an intractable, abiding rift in American population. A Booklet of North american Martyrs is a stunning, timely depiction of a concern hotly debated on the national level but which makes itself thought most lastingly in communities torn aside by assault and hatred.
