Sebold's new book, "The Almost Moon," is very dark. The story is about Helen Knightly who steps over the line into the unthinkable....murder! For many years Helen has given of herself. Her life spent with a mother who suffered a variety of demons, her secretive father, her two daughter and ex-husband. The story unfolds in a 24 hour period when late one afternoon her life presses in on her in a way she never imagined. This book explores the provocative ties between mothers and daughters, wives and lovers, and the meaning of love and hate.
A gripping story....deeper than her last "The Lovely Bones." Devastating details and insight into Helen.

The Almost MoonI loved this book and read it in 2 sittings! Not a happily ever after but one you will remember. I bought it because I love this author. Loved her first book, "the Lovely Bones" also. Am anxiously awaiting her next novel.

An interesting book and an interesting approach to telling a story. It skips from past to present from one paragraph to the next so it's a bit of a literary roller coaster. It's a very good, original and haunting story and I look forward to her next book.

The Almost MoonI decided to buy this book because of Sebold's "Lovely Bones". This was a disappointment. This book just rambled too much.

) Definitly a good read. There was a little lull from time to time, but if you can stand the raw, real emotion, pick up this book!
