October 2007 Book of the Month.
Alice Sebold’s second novel is as moving and beautifully written as her first, The Lovely Bones. She takes some very sad and disturbing subject matter and writes about it in a way that completely captivates the reader. This is a story of mental illness and how difficult relationships can be under these circumstances, torn between love and hate, devotion and resentment. An engrossing novel, movingly told.
A woman steps over the line into the unthinkable in this searing portrait of a to-the-death struggle between a mother and a daughter.
