The Dry Heart begins and ends with the matter-of-fact
pronouncement: "I shot him between the eyes." As the tale-a plunge
into the chilly waters of loneliness, desperation, and
bitterness-proceeds, the narrator's murder of her flighty husband
takes on a certain logical inevitability. Stripped of any
preciousness or sentimentality, Natalia Ginzburg's writing here is
white-hot, tempered by rage. She transforms the unhappy tale of an
ordinary dull marriage into a rich psychological thriller that
seems to beg the question: why don't more wives kill their
husbands?
