Product Description:
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.

I'm glad a chose to read this book. I know the reviews weren't good so I avoided reading it until I picked it up for the second time. Once I started reading it I was hooked to the end. I guess it was not a book for everyone but I sure was engrossed reading it and I think the reviews were a bit harsh since I've read higher reviewed books with a lot less satisfaction.

Where are you Ms. Sebold? I don't know what happened! Her last two books left me wanting more...now I can't even finish this book! I went from reading 'World Without End' which I couldn't put down to this which I can't pick up. It's confusing, boring, gross (lots of diarrhea!) and well, just plain awful. I want my money back!

I picked up The Almost Moon, like so many others, after thoroughly enjoying The Lovely Bones. Unfortunately, this book is nothing like The Lovely Bones. Very little happens throughout the book, but after waiting through a few hundred pages of annoying barely-there plot, there is little or not resolution. The book is mostly flashbacks, primarily I suppose to explain why the protragonist behaves as she does, but they are rather uninteresting.
After about 50 pages, I could tell the ... Read More

I believed the bad reviews and decided to skip this book... until a friend I trusted said it was compelling and moving. I practically held my breath the entire time I was reading it. Not every book is written to fritter away a few hours at the beach. I am astounded at Ms. Sebold's bravery and literary voice.
