Yet another SK novel in my TBR...
From the back cover:
For thirty years, folks on Little Tall Island have been waiting to find out just what happened on the eerie dark day Dolores Claiborne's husband died--the day of the total eclipse. Now, the police want to know what happened yesterday when her rich, bedridden employer died suddenly in her care. With no choice but to talk, Dolores gives her compelling confession...of the strange and terrible links forged by hidden intimacies...of the fierceness of a mother's love and its dreadful consequences..of the silent rage that can turn a woman's heart to hate. When Dolores Claiborne is accused of murder, it's only the beginning of the bad news. For what comes after that is something only Stephen King could imagine...as he rips open the darkest secrets and the most damning sins of men and women in ingrown Maine town and takes you on a trip below its straitlaced surface.

This poor book has sat on my shelves for years without being read. In preparing for an upcoming move, I'm thinning out my TBR, this one is going to be set free soon!
Journal Entry 3 by jare at Smith's at Central & Tramway in Albuquerque, New Mexico USA on Wednesday, May 6, 2009
After grocery shopping at Smiths (Central and Tramway), I spotted the book as I was putting my cart away. I thought someone might have dropped it accidently until I saw the title of the book and the bookcrossing logo. I remember liking the movie so maybe I'll give reading the book a shot. Since I haven't been reading much lately, I figure maybe now's a good time to get back into it. I'm planning on taking a trip to Florida next month. Maybe we'll see how this book fairs near the Atlantic....:)
