Another great performance by Debra Monk. If you don't recognize the name, perhaps you will remember her as Andy Sipowicz's first wife on NYPD Blue. She is a superb reader, doing every character to perfection no matter the accent. This is a dark story of a wife beaten down emotionally, who falls into pills to see her through her loveless days among those who beat each other daily with cruelty and bitterness. Each has a story to tell, and I recommend this read.

Not usually a fan of Oprah's picks, but this was a thoroughly engrossing listen.
