"By her own account she's an old Yankee bitch, Dolores Claiborne: foul temper, foul mouth, foul life. […] Given a voice as compelling as any in contemporary fiction, her story centers on a disintegrating marriage's molten core, where the mind's unblinking eye becomes huge with hate and a woman's heart turns murderous."
