Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. In the 1940s, young George is destined for stardom when he is offered the lead role in the original motion picture, Huckleberry Finn. His father, a religious fundamentalist, puts an end to his dream, declaring movies as "sinful."Shortly after, based on a true story, the George's parents mysteriously disappear. Their ultra-traditional aunt tries to take both him and his younger brother Oscar in. Still reeling from the recent events, they are unable to adapt to a life of being bound to rigid, strict, unyielding expectations.They decide to run away, surviving alone, on the streets of Stockton. Decades later, when George dies under mysterious circumstances, his daughter Elena finds herself face to face with Oscar, his only living relative; an uncle she has never met.The eulogy he delivers detonates, tearing open a silence forged decades ago and left behind like a scorched shell. Off-script and unfiltered, Oscar reopens wounds and heals others in the same breath.Heavy Metal is a Sin begins in rural America's postwar factories, where Hollywood dreams and promiscuity collide with poverty and hard labor. It moves through homelessness and the crucible of the Vietnam war. In a world heavy with welding torches, religious fundamentalism, and moral doubt, sparks fly. Loyalties are tested. Dancing is the devil's work. The flames of loss burn hotter than any metal."An effective exploration of what it means to lose a loved one." - Kirkus Reviews"A definite five star plus. Enlightening and inspirational +" - Reedsy Discovery"I read this, I loved it, and I am promoting it within the system." - Head of Adult Services at a branch location within the San Diego Public Library system"Original, exceptional, emotionally engaging and intellectually absorbing, 'Heavy Metal is a Sin' is an inherently fascinating read from start to finish.
