Fascinating story and such a strong voice. Since this story is pretty much an obvious one, centered on what appears to be a solid who-done-it, it's just the devil in the details where we have to place all our attention.Will this be a rubbernecking event? Or is an obviously guilty woman obviously and truly guilty with the crime she is being accused of?Truly, the story is a lot more complex and interesting than any first glance, and more than anything, we're meant to get in deep within Dolores'sI have been sitting in a room having a little break, from A Dance with Dragons, listening to Dolores tell me her story.Its a confession really.About her husband and what happened during that eclipse. About her employer but; mostly, and most importantly, about herself: as a woman, and a wife, and a mother.It is a very chilling tale, told by todays master of the craft.The bell resonates.I fell into her voice and found myself in that small town, on that little island, off the coast of Maine with
Sometimes being a bitch is all a woman's got to hold on to. ~Dolores Claiborne Meet Dolores Claiborne -- island woman, mother of three, murderess and overall high-riding bitch. And I love her! She is strength and smarts and dignity personified and in my opinion, one of the most vivid and memorable literary creations ever to walk the pages of any book. I don't say that lightly. Yes I'm a fan, yes I'm gushing, but this is also a more tempered, critical evaluation after living with her existence
4.5 Stars:Now I've finally read it, I'm surprised it took me so long to get to this book. In fact, the title has always felt so familiar that I was half convinced I'd either read the novel or seen the movie before, although that was not the case. True enough Kathy Bates played the lead role of Dolores, and Jennifer Jason Leigh played her daughter, and I remember there had been some fanfare around the release of the movie in the mid-90s (released in 1995) and both actresses were very familiar to
Im not an ardent fan od Stephen King but Dolores Claiborne felt pretty good to me. Ive read only three his works earlier just to see what people see in him and have to say I liked him the most in his psychological version. Because despite the opinion of being horror writer he is quite good observer of life, not specially prophetic, revealing or something, just good. Also he seems to have an eye to render quite an atmosphere of time and place he describes. And to me picture of reality, even if
5***** and a ❤The entire novel is told by Dolores Claiborne in her sworn statement to the investigating police. Her employer of 40 years has died in a tragic accident or did Dolores kill her? Dolores doesnt pull any punches, she tells us on page two that she did not kill Vera Donovan (though Vera deserved killing, more than once she was a high-riding bitch). No, Dolores did nothing to hasten old Mrs Donovans ending but she did kill her husband, Joe St George, twenty-nine years ago. King
Audiobook Narrated by Frances Sternhagen Excellent Narration.Written as one chapter, this is the story of Dolores Claiborne who is suspected of murdering her wealthy employer.Instead, during one long night, in a police interview, she confesses to murdering her husband 30 years ago.The story goes back in time as she tells about the woman she worked for and is suspected of killing, about her marriage and her violent and abusive husband, and her life on Little Tall Island. Ive read the book on a
