Crimes of the Heart by Beth Henley

Place: Hazlehurst, Mississippi

Crimes of the Heart, winner of the 1981 Pulitzer Prize in Drama, is a character study of three sisters, each attempting to discover her own identity. They collectively deal with family problems and individual challenges. The bizarre yet believable characters in Henley’s southern dark comedy struggle to deal with despair, loneliness, and failure.
