Description

LUCRETIA, A Novel by Ernest Ellis, entrusts to our hearts the suffering of a woman, to perhaps give us insight and empathy into her suffering. As he did in his first novel, "There Lies a Tale," Ellis tells a deeply moving story, gradually revealing tragic implications. As one narrative merges into the next...struggle as one may to escape, the reader is carried ruthlessly into the deepest nuances of the dream, with time and events hopelessly entangled with the future. "Here is a tortuous journey into the workings of the predatory male mind and the world of its female victim. Occurring at the close of World War II, its subtext is the general decline in civilization which a ruthless war always brings in its wake. During one 24-hour day, parallel stories, sometimes occurring miles and years apart, dramatically converge to charge each passing moment with layers of emotion and meaning. In Lucretia, Ellis transports us on a cross country train ride whose last stop seems inevitable but is filled with surprises. Poetic ambiguity and delightfully phrased flashes of insight make this an entrancing and hauntingly memorable read." David Herr As this timeless World War II story unfolds, Lucretia's inner turmoil around sexual innuendo, could accost any woman today under similar circumstances. The backdrop of the holocaust brings bits of its devastating history close, through Lucretia's heightened flowing stream of feeling consciousness. "Ellis creates his own world of coherent and intriguing symbolism, and his style Is subtle and rich." John Amberg
