Dolores Claiborne
305 Pages
Dolores Claiborne is a raw, relentless character study told in one unbroken confession. When Dolores is questioned about the suspicious death of her wealthy employer, she lays her entire life bare: her hard marriage, her bitter survival, and the buried truths she’s carried for decades.
This isn’t a murder mystery. It’s the voice of a woman who’s done what she had to do, and isn’t sorry. Through her story, King crafts a tense, emotional portrait of strength, justice, and the ugly lines some people are forced to cross to survive.
There are no ghosts here, only ghosts of the past. And they’re loud.
