Rose Madder

Rose Madder

Stephen King

A drop of blood on the sheet of her marital bed will awaken Rosie Daniels from a fourteen-year nightmare. Her husband Norman - she suddenly became absolutely certain - will one day kill her.

Rosie will pick up Norman's credit card and, without any other preparations, escape to a new life, far from her brutal husband. In her new surroundings, Rosie will meet new friends, find a new job, and even a small apartment, but one unusual painting on the wall of an antique shop will capture her attention more than anything else. The painting, on the back of which is written "Rose Madder", is surely destined for her and may be able to change the course of her life in the most extraordinary way, if she only takes courage for a moment and stops trembling with fear that her husband is on her trail. Rose Madder is a dark story about the fate of a woman married to a cruel, cunning, and corrupt police officer and her fight for a more dignified life, woven from the tense threads of a thriller and interwoven with the pearl of a beautiful love story.
