Eine junge Frau bezieht ein winziges Zimmerchen im heruntergekommenen Morningside Heights. Das Jahr ist 1979, und S.H. kommt direkt aus der amerikanischen Provinz; daher ihr Spitzname: "Minnesota". Das wilde New York lockt, und sie, die Schriftstellerin werden will, genießt den Schmutz wie den Glanz, das turbulente Leben wie die Einsamkeit. Alles Neue saugt sie begierig in sich auf. So auch, durch die papierdünnen Wände zur Nachbarwohnung, die oft skurrilen Monologe und gesungenen Mantras ihrer Nachbarin: Lucy Brite, liest sie auf dem Klingelschild. Doch mit der Zeit wünscht sie, sie hätte nicht so genau hingehört. Immer dringlicher werden Lucys Gesänge, immer klagender. Von Misshandlung ist die Rede, von Gefangenschaft, von Kindstod, ja von Mord. Nach und nach wird die Nachbarin zu einer immer schrecklicheren Obsession. Bis eines Nachts ein dramatisches Ereignis in Minnesotas Wohnung Lucy Brite in Person auf den Plan ruft - und nun beginnt ein Geheimnis sich zu lüften... Vierzig Jahre später erzählt die gealterte S.H., inzwischen eine anerkannte Schriftstellerin und Wissenschaftlerin, was davor und danach geschah: erzählt von Frauensolidarität und Männerwahn, von Liebe und Geschlechterkampf, von Gewalt und Versöhnung. Erzählt aber auch vom Mysterium der Zeit, von Erinnerung und Phantasie, von der Art und Weise, wie alles im Leben zu Geschichten wird, erzählt vom Erzählen. Und das mit einer unbändigen Lust daran, die uns wünschen lässt, das Buch wäre nie zu Ende.

Didn't fit my narrow feet, but still excellent shoes at a great low price
Size: 11, Color: A Black
These are some of the lightest shoes I've ever seen, but the build quality appears to be excellent. They're tongue-less, like slip-ons, but unlike some, you can adjust the tightness with the laces. The body of the shoe is a mesh-like fabric, which allows good breathability and overall comfort, and the soles are a molded rubbery material with nice treads for grip. I've been wearing a name-brand shoe made very similarly for a couple of years, and these are a very good likeness of them, at a much lower price. I like them because of the light weight and the fabric, which make them feel almost like you're barefoot. Unfortunately for me, I have narrow feet, and these fit more like a D width shoe, with more room in the toe box than I can handle. I'm returning them for that reason. For people with "normal" feet, these make really nice, stylish and comfortable shoes. I don't know how well they would hold up to sports or running, but for walking and day-to-day wear, they're great. I suppose I could grade them down because they don't fit my feet, but I find lots of shoes don't, and many makers use D width as the default for men's shoes. So I'm still rating them as 5 stars.

In a pinch they're worth it.
Size: 12, Color: D Grey
I got the dark gray color. They came exactly as pictured and are decently comfortable but as far as packaging it's very poor. They come in a small plastic bag all squished and deformed so you have to wear them a few times before they take shape again. For the price it's a great buy for some generic work shoes or something, the bottom tread doesn't last long at all though if you're expecting them to last a long time as it will be gone in a week or two if you wear them frequently. Buy them if you don't feel like spending a lot of money on shoes but want a new pair cheap.

Ladies, don't be afraid. Buy 'em. Trust me
Size: 9.5, Color: A Black
My elderly mother adores these. She had to have breathable awesome shoes for post-surgery and these fit the bill (and her feet!) So i got some for me. Whoa. Comfort! And I love the slip-on ease, b/c sometimes I just need to go, go, and go some more. Love them in black, haven't had long enough for durability, but helpful for my mom in her physical therapy and they're holding up to the worst she can do to them.

Good overall shoe, great for basic needs
Size: 12, Color: A Black
These are nice shoes. I put $40 arch support insoles in mine, so I like them even more, but they were fairly comfortable even without. They fit well, though slightly large, and seem to hold up well. No real complaints, though made a bit cheaply.

Great walking shoes
Size: 11, Color: All Black
A very comfortable walking shoe that’s well made and looks like it’s going to hold up well for everyday wear. Lightweight indeed and probably doesn’t require much cleaning. Easy to get on and off without much stress though.
