Almost moon by Alice Sebold (Paperback)

About This Book

What happens when love and resentment become impossible to untangle? The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold — the author of the beloved The Lovely Bones — is a dark, daring, and psychologically intense novel that begins with a shocking act and then asks us to understand it. Helen Knightly has spent her entire life caring for her difficult, mentally ill mother. One day, she snaps. What follows is a single night of reckoning — a raw, unflinching exploration of the complicated bonds between mothers and daughters, and the weight of a lifetime of unspoken pain. Provocative, deeply human, and impossible to forget.
