Stephen King: Dolores Claiborne (USA 2016) From the Publisher: Dolores Claiborne is suspected of killing Vera Donovan, her wealthy employer, and when the police question her, she tells the story of her life, harkening back to her disintegrating marriage and the suspicious death of her violent husband thirty years earlier.

Given a voice as compelling as any in contemporary fiction, the strange intimacy between Dolores and Vera -- and the link that binds them -- unfolds in Dolores's account. It shows, finally, how fierce love can be, and how dreadful its consequences. And how the soul, harrowed by the hardest life, can achieve a kind of grace.

Stephen King: Dolores Claiborne (UK 1993) From the Publisher: Suspected of murdering Vera Donovan, the crippled widow for whom she worked as housekeeper and companion, Dolores admits the two women hadn't always got along.

And when her demons become too strong, Dolores was there to take the punishment. Maybe one day Dolores had just had enough. But Dolores Claiborne's story is a little different. A little darker, a little stranger - and a lot more horrifying. It's a story that could only have come from the pen of Stephen King. Stephen King: Dolores Claiborne. Hodder & Stoughton, ISBN: 0340546727 (February, 1993), 241 p., £14.99.
