The harsh realities for Francis and Helen really puts the reader into their situation, as grim as it is. But yet Francis still maintains a positive attitude, something many could not. Loved the authentic language throughout; it really sold it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dark Redemption, Or Not? *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2006* IRONWEED by William J. Kennedy was the latest selection for a book club I've recently joined. The premise of the club is to read a novel and then view the movie (at the group meeting) that was based on the novel. As I expected, the movie paled in comparison to the book, despite the screenplay being written by Kennedy himself. Jack Nicholson plays the main character (Francis) and Meryl Streep is his "wanna be" socialite girlfriend (Helen), but this star power doesn't elevate the story beyond what Kennedy had already done in the novel.Set during the "Great Depression," IRONWEED is a great look at the underbelly of society: drunks, homeless, impoverished, and in that regard the story is timeless. I enjoyed the characters' quirkiness and the loosely connected plots, but more significantly to me were the themes of redemption, forgiveness, and love. The love aspect may be hard to spot, but it is there, unconventionally, in many of the character's interactions.This favorable recommendation comes with a warning: it can be a depressing read, definitely not a happy one, and while I found it inspirational, it will not conjure any blithe emotions. IRONWEED is definitely not a June beach read, being more apropos to a long winter night, indoor, by a warm fire. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great characters and interesting story telling *by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2018* The characters were very 3 dimensional and clearly communicated. The style of the story telling was enjoyable and easy to read. Very illustrative, much like Earnest Hemmingway's or Steinbeck's characters. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/4971087-ironweed](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/4971087-ironweed) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
