Purchase options and add-ons

Master storyteller Stephen King presents the classic #1 New York Times bestseller about a housekeeper with a long-hidden secret from her past...one that tests her own will to survive.

When Vera Donovan, one of the wealthiest and most ill-natured residents of Maine's Little Tall Island, dies suddenly in her home, suspicion is immediately cast on her housekeeper and caretaker, Dolores Claiborne. Dolores herself is no stranger to such mistrust, thanks to the local chatter and mysterious circumstances surrounding her abusive husband's death twenty-nine years earlier. But if this is truly to be the day of Dolores Claiborne's reckoning, she has a few things of her own that she'd like to get off her chest...and begins to confess a spirited, intimate, and harrowing tale of the darkest secrets hidden within her hardscrabble existence, revealing above all one woman's unwavering determination to weather the storm of her life with grace and protect the one she loves, no matter what the cost...

The structure of this story mixed with the use of misspellings to denote an accent makes you tumble headfirst into this tale of good old-fashioned motherly love and maybe a little bit of revenge. It's got everything, senile old women, eclipses, small island towns, and a sassy housekeeper with a penchant for swearing. I'd recommend it for sure.

I could not believe the condition of this book! It’s a first edition from 1993 and it’s immaculate…can barely tell it’s been touched. I’m so excited to complete my collection with one of the last few books I needed. Would definitely recommend buying from this seller!

Told from the main characters perspective in a police interview, you'd think I'd get bored but I didn't. Great way to tell a story with all the flashbacks as she is telling it. Couldn't put it down

A leitura flui a ponto de vc conseguir ler em um dia se for feriado ou fds. Adorei o livro!
Foi meu primeiro do Stephen King e foi uma boa escolha para começar.
Quanto ao produto em si, conforme as fotos q postei, é uma edição econômica, com aquelas folhas tipo jornal, capa mais frágil etc...
Acho q vale a pena mesmo assim, é só ter um pouco mais de cuidado.
