(  )swinemil | Jul 3, 2009 |   Deeply troubling and disappointing at the same time. (  )Norrie | Jun 27, 2009 | What the heck was that? I pushed myself through this book continuously thinking "it must get better" but it never did. The writing style was great but the plot line, to say the least was not for me. The most ironic moment? Finding this book on a "Suggestions for Mother's Day" table at a major bookstore. Sure, here you go, happy mother's day mom, this is what I want to do... It's every mother's dream, :/ (  )april85fool | Jun 20, 2009 | 1  The first chapter of this book was horrible. After reading Lovely Bones, I was expecting something fantastic but this book falls far short. After reading some reviews of other readers, I decided reading more would be a waste of time. (  )tundra | May 29, 2009 | I didn't finish this book, cause I was so disappointed. Been thinking about trying again.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0316677469, Hardcover)A woman steps over the line into the unthinkable in this brilliant, powerful, and unforgettable new novel by the author of The Lovely Bones and Lucky.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.
