The Almost Moon

"Along with its buoying dark wit, it is this eerily familiar blurred line between sane and insane that makes "The Almost Moon" simultaneously uncomfortable and absorbing." -- San Francisco Chronicle"From the opening line of The Almost Moon . . . we recognize Alice Sebold's hand: her sensuous yet impeccably direct language, her world where the poignant and the gruesome intertwine." -- Houston Chronicle "Sebold can still write beautiful, haunting scenes." -- Washington Post Book World"Sebold's unblinking authorial gaze is her hallmark: where lesser writers would turn away from things too horrible to see or feel or admit, her scrutiny never wavers." -- Time Magazine"brilliantly paced, it's brutally honest, and the Gordian knot at its core . . . is depicted with such generous intelligence that the fineness of the novel more than surpasses its own horror show of circumstance." -- Boston Globe"Alice Sebold is not just talented but very bold." -- Arizona Republic--This text refers to the Hardcoveredition.
