false <![CDATA[Casi la luna]]> 783291 25 A woman steps over the line into the unthinkable in this brilliant, powerful, and unforgettable new novel by the author of <i>The Lovely Bones</i> and <i>Lucky</i>. For years Helen Knightly has given her life to others: to her haunted mother, to her enigmatic father, to her husband and now grown children. When she finally crosses a terrible boundary, her life comes rushing in at her in a way she never could have imagined. Unfolding over the next twenty-four hours, this searing, fast-paced novel explores the complex 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 fluidity and strength of voice that only Alice Sebold can bring to the page. 1584738 book 16 10 2007 The Almost Moon total:7539|5:34|4:80|3:142|2:156|1:95| 7539 19111 11730 2197 783291 0316677469 9780316677462 7043 2058 The Almost Moon 2.53 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178306503m/783291.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/783291.The_Almost_Moon 1 24 false Thu Feb 21 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 24 19:22:04 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 28 19:32:08 -0800 2008 The Lovely Bones.
