Back of 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 an ingrown Maine town and takes you on a trip below its straitlaced surface.



My take: I love Stephen King, and I think that he is an extraordinary author. I know that this is one of his older books but I am just now reading it. I thought that this book was a really good book. I think that Dolores Claiborne is a really strong character and she did what she had to do to save her daughter even though the consequences were great. Dolores has a tremendous spirit about her and I thoroughly enjoyed this book
