From the Publisher:
Master storyteller Stephen King presents the "powerful" (Time) #1 New York Times bestselling classic thriller about a housekeeper with a long-hidden secret from her past -- one that tests her own will to survive.

When Vera Donovan, one of the wealthiest and most ill-natured residents of Maine's Little Tall Island, dies suddenly in her home, suspicion is immediately cast on her housekeeper and caretaker, Dolores Claiborne. Dolores herself is no stranger to such mistrust, thanks to the local chatter and mysterious circumstances surrounding her abusive husband's death twenty-nine years earlier.

But if this is truly to be the day of Dolores Claiborne's reckoning, she has a few things of her own that she'd like to get off her chest... and begins to confess a spirited, intimate, and harrowing tale of the darkest secrets hidden within her hardscrabble existence, revealing above all one woman's unwavering determination to weather the storm of her life with grace and protect the one she loves, no matter what the cost...

Stephen King: Dolores Claiborne (USA 2016)

From the Publisher:
"An unforgettable, unflinching glimpse into a mind driven to murder" (San Francisco Chronicle) -- the #1 national bestseller from Stephen King about a housekeeper with a long-hidden secret from her past... one that tests her own will to survive.

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. Dolores also tells of Vera's physical and mental decline and how she became emotionally demanding in recent years.

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.

Hailed by Entertainment Weekly as a "tour de force, Dolores Claiborne is "a literary triumph. The finest of King novels... a plot of enormous energy... Read this book" (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel).

Stephen King: Dolores Claiborne (UK 1993)

From the Publisher:
Dolores Claiborne has a story to tell. But it isn't exactly the one the police are expecting to hear.

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.

Apparently neglected by her children and eaten up with bitterness despite her wealth, Mrs Donovan had hovered on the brink of madness for years. 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.
