Description
A Piece of My Heart by Richard Ford follows the journey of two men on separate quests that lead them to the same enigmatic location.
Robard Hewes has driven across the country in search of a woman named Buena who, twelve years ago, infused him with a feeling that has now turned into obsession.
Meanwhile, Sam Newel has travelled from Chicago seeking the missing piece of himself. Both end up on an uncharted hunting island in the Mississippi, owned by an old man named Lamb.
As their paths converge on this strange land, each man discovers the object of his search, yet their encounters ignite a conflagration of inevitable violence. This tense and brutal yet moving tale explores the depths of human desires and the consequences they can bring.
