From Library Journal
Harmony is a compelling, well-crafted novel told in a series of disjointed flashbacks by Clodine Wheeler, forced by a series of deaths to examine her life. The reader learns early on that Clodine's abusive husband is dead and soon begins to wonder how much responsibility she bears for his death. Another woman suddenly on her own is the childlike Lilly Duke; the father of her baby is awaiting execution for murder. Lilly seeks sanctuary in Clodine's hometown, the upper-Midwest resort of Harmony, where the baby drowns under mysterious circumstances. While examining the patterns of her behavior and the way that Lilly's life mirrors her own, Clodine begins to take responsibility for her actions and their effect on others. Vivid imagery brings objects and actions to life, and the characters are real and multidimensional in this beautifully written novel by the author of Story of Annie D. (Houghton, 1989). Highly recommended for public libraries and large college fiction collections. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 6/1/90.
