The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold
2.0
1.5 STARS
"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." (From Amazon)
Maybe I like my mom too much but I could not get into this story at all and only finished it because it was written by Alice Sebold.
