Segreti, menzogne e una confessione sconvolgente. Dolores Claiborne è una donna apparentemente normale, ma il suo passato nasconde oscuri segreti legati alla morte di Vera Donovan. Tra tensione psicologica e un racconto serrato, King costruisce un thriller intenso che esplora violenza, resilienza e giustizia privata. Una lettura avvincente, inquietante e impossibile da lasciare a metà.

Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The story unfolds in one continuous chapter, told in the first person by the cranky, 65-year-old housekeeper, Dolores, who is explaining to police officers and a stenographer how and why she killed her husband, Joe, 30 years ago. At the same time, in her rambling monologue, she insists that she did not kill her longtime employer, Vera Donovan--notwithstanding what the residents of Little Tall Island may be whispering. Joe was a drinker, and, as Dolores gradually argues, he deserved to die for the horrifying crimes he committed against his family. But Vera, despite her cantankerous disposition as a lady governing her decaying estate with her precise rules about even the most mundane household chore ("Six pins! Remember to use six pins! Don't you let the wind blow my good sheets down to the corner of the yard!"), was a good woman--or at least not an evil one. She was the woman who hired the young Dolores and kept her on even after Dolores got pregnant again. Dolores cleaned and cared for her even as the old matron faded into senility.
