Michael Davenport dreams of being a poet after returning home from World War II Europe, and at first he and his new wife Lucy enjoy their life together. But as the decades pass and the success of others creates an oppressive fear of failure in both Michael and Lucy, their once bright future gives way to a life of adultery and isolation. With empathy and grace, Yates creates a poignant novel of the desires and disasters of a tragic, hopeful couple. 2404600 1986 Young Hearts Crying total:106|5:20|4:44|3:29|2:9|1:4| 106 385 205 18 4 1 false false Fri Aug 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 09 09:38:57 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 21 10:36:40 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Thu Apr 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 07 09:01:21 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 06:42:54 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Apr 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 09:48:16 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 09:54:50 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Oct 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 19:06:54 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 19:12:03 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 11 18:22:59 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 11 18:26:26 -0700 2009 Revolutionary Road...more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Jan 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 19:18:52 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 19:28:57 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Apr 27 09:51:52 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 09:58:24 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sun Oct 04 21:31:12 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 21:31:58 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Sep 01 19:42:33 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 11:42:01 -0700 2009 The ending of Young Hearts Crying is quite predictable, because the sypnosis on the back cover more or less gives it away, and yet, I wanted to read on to find out wh...more...]]> 1 0 false false Thu Oct 11 06:07:22 -0700 2007 Sun Jun 17 05:29:55 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 19 06:07:19 -0700 2007 i read cover to cover and there are only about five or so books that i have not finished in my entire stint as a reader. most of which i plan on going back to (infinite jest, finnegans wake,...) i'm trying with this one, but its just not happeni...more...]]> 1 0 false false Fri Mar 13 12:01:59 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 06:16:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 10 10:42:56 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 10 10:42:56 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Oct 09 14:34:17 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 09 14:34:17 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jun 23 15:22:59 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 15:23:17 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Nov 16 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Aug 29 10:07:27 -0700 2009 Mon Nov 16 14:38:09 -0800 2009 Revolutionary Road are so amazingly good that it makes all of his other novels disappointing by comparison.
