Dolores Claiborne

Dolores Claiborne

Stephen King

A psychological thriller in the form of a confession by the main character, who tells her life story during police interrogation. The film Total Eclipse was based on this novel, starring Kathy Bates and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

Dolores, a housewife on Little Tall Island, is suspected of the murder of her employer, the wealthy and disabled Vera Donovan. As she explains what really happened, she uncovers dark secrets from her past.

The novel's central theme is the death of Dolores's husband, Joe, a violent alcoholic who abused her and their daughter. Dolores confesses that she killed him to protect her daughter, pushing him down a well, with Vera's tacit approval.

The novel has no chapters or transitions, but flows like one long monologue, creating a sense of intense intimacy and realism. Through Dolores's raw and emotional confession, King explores themes of domestic violence, female strength, justice, and guilt.
