For years, Helen Knightly has given her life to others: to her haunted mother, to her enigmatic father, to her husband and now-grown daughters. When she finally crosses a terrible boundary, her life comes rushing in at her in a way she never could have imagined.
Unfolding over twenty-four hours, The Almost Moon explores the 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 humanity and fluidity that only Alice Sebold can bring to the page.

Putting into Flutterbies9 Random BookBox.

I have read this twice now and both times have been riveting. A book I can't put down. So well written.
It's about a narcissistic mother who used to be a model and the adult child that eventually kills her and then the complete upheaval that it causes in her life.
Full of dark humour and such beautiful novel.

I have added this to my staff room mini free library for others to enjoy.
