The Almost Moon, Alice Sebold
Helen Knightly, an artist model and mother of two, smothers her mentally ill mother. Then during the following 24 hours, Helen washes and drags her mom’s body to the basement; goes to her job at an art school, where she poses nude; has sex with her best friend’s 30-ish-year-old son; gains the assistance of her ex-husband, Jake; and thinks about her beloved, long-dead father. You might hate The Almost Moon, but you won’t forget it.
