For 30 years, folks on Little Tall Island have been waiting to find out just what happened on the eerie dark day Dolores Claiborne's husband died - the day of the total eclipse. Now, the police want to know what happened yesterday when her rich, bedridden employer died suddenly in her care. With no choice but to talk, Dolories gives her compelling confession of the silent rage that can turn a woman's heart to hate. When Dolores Claiborne is accused of murder, it is only the beginning of bad news. For what comes after that is something only Stephen King could imagine...as he rips open the darkest secrets & the most damning sins of men & women in an ingrown Maine town & takes you on a trip below its straitlaced surface.
