The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold


Alice Sebold round two did not go well for me. Unfortunately, I gave up on The Almost Moon almost at the very beginning. Not literally, since I was several chapters into the book. However, the main character (not memorable) had not moved from the same location since page one.

I think it should have been flashbacks with the occasional back to reality. However, ended up more like reality with the occasional flashback and it was very slow paced. The story is about caring for an elderly parent. A tough job.

I wish I could have stuck it out to see what happened. So, if you know, please fill me in on the ending. In the meantime, I'll wait for the movie.
