In a Yellow Field
(Fiction) A heartache story, full of nostalgia and melancholy. From the back cover: "This is the one about the girl I married and how we accidentally grew up together."
Jack Beltane's novels are not love stories, exactly, because they're full of mistakes and heartbreak. They're stories about people and how people interact with each other and how people so very often screw up. They're about loss and regret and melancholy--and love. If the Cure wrote novels instead of recorded albums, it would probably end up close to Beltane's books. His writing style is natural, constantly toeing the line between conversational and poetic.
