Dolores Claiborne

Dolores Claiborne has a story to tell. But it is not quite what the police had expected.

Dolores Claiborne has a confession to make.... She will take her time. Won't be hurried. Will do it her way, sparing neither details nor feelings. Hers or anyone else's.

This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Truth that takes you to the edge of darkness. Dolores Claiborne has a story to tell, and you'd better pay attention - or else.

Late comer to Mr King

Now I’ve listened to a few of his novels and variably been super impressed by his literary talent. The reading of this left me dazzled by her talent. Intonation, a real character emerging from her reading. Thank you. Story a bit disturbing but triumph ensues!

fantastic reading, great female centred story.

Loved this reading. wasn't sure what to expect but I enjoy King's more nuanced female centred stories, such as Lisey's story, Rose Madder and this. I enjoy the Examinations of marriage and self delusion.
