I have to read this book! I read both Lucky and The Lovely Bones and they were wonderfully tragic books. And from the description of The Almost Moon, we can expect some more of that with this book too.Alice Sebold tells us herself what the book is about in this letter:
"I hope you'll like The Almost Moon. I also hope it produces that feeling of discomfort. It's about Helen Knightly who is a mother, a daughter, a lover, and—beginning the night you meet her—a woman who has killed her mother. Obviously I want you to follow her into all the dark places she's going because I believe it's in those dark places where we often see most clearly the truth about how to live or how not to."
