false <![CDATA[Sharp Objects]]> 66559 20 WICKED above her hipbone, GIRL across her heart Words are like a road map to reporter Camille Preaker’s troubled past. Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, Camille’s first assignment from the second-rate daily paper where she works brings her reluctantly back to her hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. NASTY on her kneecap, BABYDOLL on her leg Since she left town eight years ago, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed again in her family’s Victorian mansion, Camille is haunted by the childhood tragedy she has spent her whole life trying to cut from her memory. HARMFUL on her wrist, WHORE on her ankle As Camille works to uncover the truth about these violent crimes, she finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Clues keep leading to dead ends, forcing Camille to unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past to get at the story. Dogged by her own demons, Camille will have to confront what happened to her years before if she wants to survive this homecoming. With its taut, crafted writing, Sharp Objects is addictive, haunting, and unforgettable. 3801 26 9 2006 Sharp Objects: A Novel total:2610|5:498|4:1032|3:771|2:243|1:66| 2610 9483 3969 751 1 12 false false Wed Aug 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 01 07:18:03 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 30 18:29:20 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1 6 false false Mon Aug 06 11:11:15 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 11 03:14:11 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 4 false false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 21:38:02 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 09:32:37 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 8 false false Fri Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Thu Jun 28 06:21:25 -0700 2007 Thu Jun 28 06:45:24 -0700 2007
