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.]]> 316 3.62 178943 17339 2 2 false Mon Oct 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 11:16:54 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 05:16:14 -0700 2009
