Acts Of Love

by Elia Kazan

Overview

A beautiful and strongly sexual young woman seeks security and certainty within her husband's Greek-American family but is soon on the move again, toward an inevitable final reckoning.

Kazan has crafted dozens of rasping dialogues--the way people really talk, argue, make up, lash out, give up--and has spliced them with a leanly readable narrative.
