Publisher Description
"When all is said and done, killing my mother came easily."
So begins The Almost Moon, Alice Sebold's astonishing, brilliant, and daring new novel. A woman steps over the line into the unthinkable in this unforgettable work by the author of The Lovely Bones and Lucky.
For years Helen Knightly has given her life to others - to her haunted mother, to her enigmatic father, to her husband and grown children. When she finally crosses a terrible boundary, her life comes rushing in at her in a way she never could have imagined.
Unfolding over the next 24 hours, this searing, fast-paced audiobook explores the complex ties between mothers and daughters, wives and lovers, the meaning of devotion, and the line between love and hate. It is a challenging, moving, gripping story, written with the fluidity and strength of voice that only Alice Sebold has.
Customer Reviews
No match for "The Lovely Bones"
I must say I was disappointed by this audiobook. After reading Lovely Bones, I was prepared for another amazing book that I wouldn't be able to put down, or in this case, take the earphones off. However, I found myself getting impatient and almost to the point of boredom. After the shocker beginning it just fizzled. Maybe it was the narrator. Maybe just not a great book. Too bad.
