Commentary To Books A Song for Carmine
Everything always catches up. "The past is never dead. It's not even past." William Faulkner said it best. If he couldn't kill the past, Carmine St. Clair would live to punish himself for it and try to outrun it at the same time. Haunted by memories of a childhood stained with the so-called tough love of a God-lovin' alcoholic father and the inky residue of his own bigotry, the last 15 years are a blur of libations and amassing trophies, women and money. Carmine has spent his whole life distancing himself from his past, those crooked lines, the dusty red clay roads of the South. But when the winning streak ends and the phone rings, he ends up right back where he started: Eton, Georgia (population 318). When the walls he's built around himself crumble, Carmine finds love in everything he's tried to escape: a black woman, forgiveness, himself, and the past. As he tries to figure out what the past means, what it means to be good, and what the future holds, he'll have to decide between love and hate, darkness and light, and all the things in between. Sometimes you have to go back to where you started to learn the oldest lesson of all: you've got to let go of everything to gain it all. A story about love, about forgiveness, and about what it means to make a life worth living. Charming and deeply moving A Song for Carmine is a story that gives you something to leave with.

very enjoyable, a very surprising twistWhile I was disappointed the it wasn't a romance novel, the writing and the story line itself was composed so beautifully that I feel it still deserved 5 stars
It's been a while since I read this, but I remember that it completely wrecked me, I think I was sad for days after reading it.
The book cover is misleading. It's not a love story but a story about forgiveness and redemption. You can not run away from your past if it's controlling how you live your life. You must face it head on; learn from it; then, you are able to move forward. Carmine, a man, wrestling with past demons, discovered love in an unlikely place. The love he shared with one woman spoke to the narrative of the story but not the complete story. This was Carmine's song and he sang it beautifully. I gave it
3.5 stars. Yes, the cover is somewhat misleading if your hoping for a simple romance - there is romance in the story, but it takes almost half of the book before we meet the heroine, and the story is more about forgiveness and redemption from the the hero's p.o.v. I enjoyed the somewhat raw writing style, it's kind of poetic - had hoped for more works by this author.
I feel a little mislead, I thought this would be a romance, but it wasn't.Though I haven't been too happy with romances lately, I had this and decided to read it, now I wish I hadn't.I am glad he found peace with hisself, forgiveness and redemption but it all could have been told without adding the other party, where it turned out to be rather sad and depressing.Now I won't be able to read anything else from this author.I feel so duped, I thought this would end o a more positive note.Now I'll
